In this paper we describe a data structure that supports pattern matching queries on a dynamically arriving text over an alphabet ofconstant size. Each new symbol can be prepended to $T$ in O(1) worst-case time. At any moment, we can report…
Let two static sequences of strings $P$ and $S$, representing prefix and suffix conditions respectively, be given as input for preprocessing. For the query, let two positive integers $k_1$ and $k_2$ be given, as well as a string $T$ given…
Detecting all the strings that occur in a text more frequently or less frequently than expected according to an IID or a Markov model is a basic problem in string mining, yet current algorithms are based on data structures that are either…
We introduce the strongly NP-complete pagination problem, an extension of BIN PACKING where packing together two items may make them occupy less volume than the sum of their individual sizes. To achieve this property, an item is defined as…
The Parikh vector p(s) of a string s is defined as the vector of multiplicities of the characters. Parikh vector q occurs in s if s has a substring t with p(t)=q. We present two novel algorithms for searching for a query q in a text s. One…
Graph pattern matching is a routine process for a wide variety of applications such as social network analysis. It is typically defined in terms of subgraph isomorphism which is NP-Complete. To lower its complexity, many extensions of graph…
Text indexing is a classical algorithmic problem that has been studied for over four decades: given a text $T$, pre-process it off-line so that, later, we can quickly count and locate the occurrences of any string (the query pattern) in $T$…
In the String Matching in Labeled Graphs (SMLG) problem, we need to determine whether a pattern string appears on a given labeled graph or a given automaton. Under the Orthogonal Vectors hypothesis, the SMLG problem cannot be solved in…

We consider an index data structure for similar strings. The generalized suffix tree can be a solution for this. The generalized suffix tree of two strings $A$ and $B$ is a compacted trie representing all suffixes in $A$ and $B$. It has…
The rise of repetitive datasets has lately generated a lot of interest in compressed self-indexes based on dictionary compression, a rich and heterogeneous family that exploits text repetitions in different ways. For each such compression…

The research on indexing repetitive string collections has focused on the same search problems used for regular string collections, though they can make little sense in this scenario. For example, the basic pattern matching query "list all…
The classic string indexing problem is to preprocess a string $S$ into a compact data structure that supports efficient subsequent pattern matching queries, that is, given a pattern string $P$, report all occurrences of $P$ within $S$. In…
We design the first learned index that solves the dictionary problem with time and space complexity provably better than classic data structures for hierarchical memories, such as B-trees, and modern learned indexes. We call our solution…
Given strings $P$ and $Q$ the (exact) string matching problem is to find all positions of substrings in $Q$ matching $P$. The classical Knuth-Morris-Pratt algorithm [SIAM J. Comput., 1977] solves the string matching problem in linear time…

String matching is the problem of deciding whether a given $n$-bit string contains a given $k$-bit pattern. We study the complexity of this problem in three settings. Communication complexity. For small $k$, we provide near-optimal upper…
Sublinear time quantum algorithms have been established for many fundamental problems on strings. This work demonstrates that new, faster quantum algorithms can be designed when the string is highly compressible. We focus on two popular and…
