The suffix trees are fundamental data structures for various kinds of string processing. The suffix tree of a text string $T$ of length $n$ has $O(n)$ nodes and edges, and the string label of each edge is encoded by a pair of positions in…

A seed in a word is a relaxed version of a period in which the occurrences of the repeating subword may overlap. We show a linear-time algorithm computing a linear-size representation of all the seeds of a word (the number of seeds might be…
In the classic longest common substring (LCS) problem, we are given two strings $S$ and $T$, each of length at most $n$, over an alphabet of size $\sigma$, and we are asked to find a longest string occurring as a fragment of both $S$ and…
The notion of the cover is a generalization of a period of a string, and there are linear time algorithms for finding the shortest cover. The seed is a more complicated generalization of periodicity, it is a cover of a superstring of a…
Let $T$ be a string of length $n$ over an integer alphabet of size $\sigma$. In the word RAM model, $T$ can be represented in $O(n /\log_\sigma n)$ space. We show that a representation of all covers of $T$ can be computed in the optimal…
Two strings of the same length are said to Cartesian-tree match (CT-match) if their Cartesian-trees are isomorphic [Park et al., TCS 2020]. Cartesian-tree matching is a natural model that allows for capturing similarities of numerical…
The suffix array and the suffix tree are the two most fundamental data structures for string processing. For a length-$n$ text, however, they use $\Theta(n \log n)$ bits of space, which is often too costly. To address this, Grossi and…
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…
Covers are a kind of quasiperiodicity in strings. A string $C$ is a cover of another string $T$ if any position of $T$ is inside some occurrence of $C$ in $T$. The shortest and longest cover arrays of $T$ have the lengths of the shortest…
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…
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 $b$…
This paper investigates the (quasi-)periodicity of a string when the string is edited. A string $C$ is called a cover (as known as a quasi-period) of a string $T$ if each character of $T$ lies within some occurrence of $C$. By definition, a…
We revisit the classic border tree data structure [Gu, Farach, Beigel, SODA 1994] that answers the following prefix-suffix queries on a string $T$ of length $n$ over an integer alphabet $\Sigma=[0,\sigma)$: for any $i,j \in [0,n)$ return…
Search trees on trees (STTs) generalize the fundamental binary search tree (BST) data structure: in STTs the underlying search space is an arbitrary tree, whereas in BSTs it is a path. An optimal BST of size $n$ can be computed for a given…
Park et al. [TCS 2020] observed that the similarity between two (numerical) strings can be captured by the Cartesian trees: The Cartesian tree of a string is a binary tree recursively constructed by picking up the smallest value of the…
Recently Kubica et al. (Inf. Process. Let., 2013) and Kim et al. (submitted to Theor. Comp. Sci.) introduced order-preserving pattern matching. In this problem we are looking for consecutive substrings of the text that have the same "shape"…
The notions of synchronizing and partitioning sets are recently introduced variants of locally consistent parsings with great potential in problem-solving. In this paper we propose a deterministic algorithm that constructs for a given…
We study the following substring suffix selection problem: given a substring of a string T of length n, compute its k-th lexicographically smallest suffix. This a natural generalization of the well-known question of computing the maximal…
A key principle in string processing is local consistency: using short contexts to handle matching fragments of a string consistently. String synchronizing sets [Kempa, Kociumaka; STOC 2019] are an influential instantiation of this…
