Given a text $T$ of length $n$ and a pattern $P$ of length $m$, the string matching problem is a task to find all occurrences of $P$ in $T$. In this study, we propose an algorithm that solves this problem in $O((n + m)q)$ time considering…

We introduce a new string matching problem called order-preserving matching on numeric strings where a pattern matches a text if the text contains a substring whose relative orders coincide with those of the pattern. Order-preserving…

This paper introduces the Cartesian Merkle Tree, a deterministic data structure that combines the properties of a Binary Search Tree, a Heap, and a Merkle tree. The Cartesian Merkle Tree supports insertions, updates, and removals of…

Fast exact algorithms are known for Hamiltonian paths in undirected and directed bipartite graphs through elegant though involved algorithms that are quite different from each other. We devise algorithms that are simple and similar to each…

We present a new algorithm for subsequence matching in grammar compressed strings. Given a grammar of size $n$ compressing a string of size $N$ and a pattern string of size $m$ over an alphabet of size $\sigma$, our algorithm uses…

We consider a class of pattern matching problems where a normalising transformation is applied at every alignment. Normalised pattern matching plays a key role in fields as diverse as image processing and musical information processing…

Suffix trees are key and efficient data structure for solving string problems. A suffix tree is a compressed trie containing all the suffixes of a given text of length $n$ with a linear construction cost. In this work, we introduce an…

This paper presents a new kind of self-balancing ternary search trie that uses a randomized balancing strategy adapted from Aragon and Seidel's randomized binary search trees ("treaps"). After any sequence of insertions and deletions of…

We present an online algorithm to deal with pattern matching in strings. The problem we investigate is commonly known as string matching with mismatches in which the objective is to report the number of characters that match when a pattern…

The classical pattern matching asks for locating all occurrences of one string, called the pattern, in another, called the text, where a string is simply a sequence of characters. Due to the potential practical applications, it is desirable…

Given two strings $T$ and $S$ and a set of strings $P$, for each string $p \in P$, consider the unique substrings of $T$ that have $p$ as their prefix and $S$ as their suffix. Two problems then come to mind; the first problem being the…

We revisit the complexity of building, given a two-dimensional string of size $n$, an indexing structure that allows locating all $k$ occurrences of a two-dimensional pattern of size $m$. While a structure of size $\mathcal{O}(n)$ with…

The problem of constructing optimal factoring automata arises in the context of unification factoring for the efficient execution of logic programs. Given an ordered set of $n$ strings of length $m$, the problem is to construct a trie-like…

We propose a B tree representation storing $n$ keys, each of $k$ bits, in either (a) $nk + O(nk / \lg n)$ bits or (b) $nk + O(nk \lg \lg n/ \lg n)$ bits of space supporting all B tree operations in either (a) $O(\lg n )$ time or (b) $O(\lg…

Net-trees are a general purpose data structure for metric data that have been used to solve a wide range of algorithmic problems. We give a simple randomized algorithm to construct net-trees on doubling metrics using $O(n\log n)$ time in…

We study a generalization of the recently introduced order-preserving pattern matching, where instead of looking for an exact copy of the pattern, we only require that the relative order between the elements is the same. In our variant, we…

Suffix tree (and the closely related suffix array) are fundamental structures capturing all substrings of a given text essentially by storing all its suffixes in the lexicographical order. In some applications, we work with a subset of $b$…
