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…

The Suffix Array $SA_S[1\ldots n]$ of an $n$-length string $S$ is a lexicographically sorted array of the suffixes of $S$. The suffix array is one of the most well known and widely used data structures in string algorithms. We present a…

We define generalized de Bruijn words as those words having a Burrows-Wheeler transform that is a concatenation of permutations of the alphabet. We show that generalized de Bruijn words are in 1-to-1 correspondence with Hamiltonian cycles…

The sort transform (ST) is a modification of the Burrows-Wheeler transform (BWT). Both transformations map an arbitrary word of length n to a pair consisting of a word of length n and an index between 1 and n. The BWT sorts all rotation…
