Classically, the edit distance of two length-$n$ strings can be computed in $O(n^2)$ time, whereas an $O(n^{2-\epsilon})$-time procedure would falsify the Orthogonal Vectors Hypothesis. If the edit distance does not exceed $k$, the running…

We propose algorithms computing the semi-greedy Lempel-Ziv 78 (LZ78), the Lempel-Ziv Double (LZD), and the Lempel-Ziv-Miller-Wegman (LZMW) factorizations in linear time for integer alphabets. For LZD and LZMW, we additionally propose data…

We tackle the problems of computing the rightmost variant of the Lempel-Ziv factorizations in the online/sliding model. Previous best bounds for this problem are O(n log n) time with O(n) space, due to Amir et al. [IPL 2002] for the online…

Lempel-Ziv (LZ77 or, briefly, LZ) is one of the most effective and widely-used compressors for repetitive texts. However, the existing efficient methods computing the exact LZ parsing have to use linear or close to linear space to index the…

We present an algorithm that constructs the LZ-End parsing (a variation of LZ77) of a given string of length $n$ in $O(n\log\ell)$ expected time and $O(z + \ell)$ space, where $z$ is the number of phrases in the parsing and $\ell$ is the…

In this paper, we show that the LZ77 factorization of a text T {\in\Sigma^n} can be computed in O(R log n) bits of working space and O(n log R) time, R being the number of runs in the Burrows-Wheeler transform of T reversed. For extremely…

A family of Lempel-Ziv factorizations is a well-studied string structure. The LZ-End factorization is a member of the family that achieved faster extraction of any substrings (Kreft & Navarro, TCS 2013). One of the interests for LZ-End…

A factorization $f_1, \ldots, f_m$ of a string $w$ of length $n$ is called a repetition factorization of $w$ if $f_i$ is a repetition, i.e., $f_i$ is a form of $x^kx'$, where $x$ is a non-empty string, $x'$ is a (possibly-empty) proper…
