We present a unified framework for accelerating edit-distance computation between two compressible strings using straight-line programs. For two strings of total length $N$ having straight-line program representations of total size $n$, we…
Sorting is an essential operation which is widely used and is fundamental to some very basic day to day utilities like searches, databases, social networks and much more. Optimizing this basic operation in terms of complexity as well as…

Assume that an $N$-bit sequence $S$ of $k$ numbers encoded as Elias gamma codes is given as input. We present space-efficient algorithms for sorting, dense ranking and competitive ranking on $S$ in the word RAM model with word size…
In this paper, a sorting technique is presented that takes as input a data set whose primary key domain is known to the sorting algorithm, and works with an time efficiency of O(n+k), where k is the primary key domain. It is shown that the…
Covers being one of the most popular form of regularities in strings, have drawn much attention over time. In this paper, we focus on the problem of linear time inference of strings from cover arrays using the least sized alphabet possible.…
We present a near-linear time algorithm that approximates the edit distance between two strings within a polylogarithmic factor; specifically, for strings of length n and every fixed epsilon>0, it can compute a (log n)^O(1/epsilon)…

We generalize Karp-Rabin string matching to handle multiple patterns in $\mathcal{O}(n \log n + m)$ time and $\mathcal{O}(s)$ space, where $n$ is the length of the text and $m$ is the total length of the $s$ patterns, returning correct…
The choice dictionary is introduced as a data structure that can be initialized with a parameter $n\in\mathbb{N}=\{1,2,\ldots\}$ and subsequently maintains an initially empty subset $S$ of $\{1,\ldots,n\}$ under insertion, deletion,…
For both the Lempel Ziv 77- and 78-factorization we propose algorithms generating the respective factorization using $(1+\epsilon) n \lg n + O(n)$ bits (for any positive constant $\epsilon \le 1$) working space (including the space for the…
In this paper we present algorithms for several string problems in the Congested Clique model. In the Congested Clique model, $n$ nodes (computers) are used to solve some problem. The input to the problem is distributed among the nodes, and…
The suffix tree is arguably the most fundamental data structure on strings: introduced by Weiner (SWAT 1973) and McCreight (JACM 1976), it allows solving a myriad of computational problems on strings in linear time. Motivated by its large…
The compact directed acyclic word graph (CDAWG) of a string $T$ of length $n$ takes space proportional just to the number $e$ of right extensions of the maximal repeats of $T$, and it is thus an appealing index for highly repetitive…

It is widely assumed that $O(m+\lg \sigma)$ is the best one can do for finding a pattern of length $m$ in a compacted trie storing strings over an alphabet of size $\sigma$, if one insists on linear-size data structures and deterministic…
This article introduces a new optimization method to improve mergesort's runtime complexity, when sorting sequences that have equal keys to $O(n log_2 k)$, where $k$ is the number of distinct keys in the sequence. When $k$ is constant, it…
