Grammar-based compression is a popular and powerful approach to compressing repetitive texts but until recently its relatively poor time-space trade-offs during real-life construction made it impractical for truly massive datasets such as…

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…

Data compression is a well-studied (and well-solved) problem in the setup of long coding blocks. But important emerging applications need to compress data to memory words of small fixed widths. This new setup is the subject of this paper.…
