In this work, we introduce the notion of decisional width of a finite relational structure and the notion of decisional width of a regular class of finite structures. Our main result states that given a first-order formula {\psi} over a…

Text indexing is a fundamental and well-studied problem. Classic solutions either replace the original text with a compressed representation, e.g., the FM-index and its variants, or keep it uncompressed but attach some redundancy - an index…

For the first time we provide a succinct pattern matching index for arbitrary graphs that can be built in polynomial time, which requires less space and answers queries more efficiently than the one in [SODA 2021]. We show that, given an…

We introduce a novel paradigm for reducing the size of finite automata by compressing repeating sub-graphs. These repeating sub-graphs can be viewed as invocations of a single procedure. Instead of representing each invocation explicitly,…
