Real-world data often comes in compressed form. Analyzing compressed data directly (without decompressing it) can save space and time by orders of magnitude. In this work, we focus on fundamental sequence comparison problems and try to…
In this paper we give an algorithm for streaming $k$-edit approximate pattern matching which uses space $\widetilde{O}(k^2)$ and time $\widetilde{O}(k^2)$ per arriving symbol. This improves substantially on the recent algorithm of…
We study quantum algorithms for several fundamental string problems, including Longest Common Substring, Lexicographically Minimal String Rotation, and Longest Square Substring. These problems have been widely studied in the stringology…
In the Pattern Masking for Dictionary Matching (PMDM) problem, we are given a dictionary $\mathcal{D}$ of $d$ strings, each of length $\ell$, a query string $q$ of length $\ell$, and a positive integer $z$, and we are asked to compute a…
Document listing on string collections is the task of finding all documents where a pattern appears. It is regarded as the most fundamental document retrieval problem, and is useful in various applications. Many of the fastest-growing…
We introduce a new string matching problem called order-preserving matching on numeric strings where a pattern matches a text if the text contains a substring whose relative orders coincide with those of the pattern. Order-preserving…
We introduce a new metric of match, called Cartesian tree matching, which means that two strings match if they have the same Cartesian trees. Based on Cartesian tree matching, we define single pattern matching for a text of length n and a…
Given a pattern x of length m and a text y of length n, both over an ordered alphabet, the order-preserving pattern matching problem consists in finding all substrings of the text with the same relative order as the pattern. It is an…
String matching algorithm plays the vital role in the Computational Biology. The functional and structural relationship of the biological sequence is determined by similarities on that sequence. For that, the researcher is supposed to aware…
This paper addresses the online exact string matching problem which consists in finding all occurrences of a given pattern p in a text t. It is an extensively studied problem in computer science, mainly due to its direct applications to…
Permutation patterns and pattern avoidance have been intensively studied in combinatorics and computer science, going back at least to the seminal work of Knuth on stack-sorting (1968). Perhaps the most natural algorithmic question in this…
Pattern matching is one of the fundamental problems in Computer Science. Both the classic version of the problem as well as the more sophisticated version where wildcards can also appear in the input can be solved in almost linear time…
This paper extends the problem of 2-dimensional palindrome search into the area of approximate matching. Using the Hamming distance as the measure, we search for 2D palindromes that allow up to $k$ mismatches. We consider two different…
This study investigates whether reoptimization can help in solving the closest substring problem. We are dealing with the following reoptimization scenario. Suppose, we have an optimal l-length closest substring of a given set of sequences…
We consider the problem of efficiently designing sets (codes) of equal-length DNA strings (words) that satisfy certain combinatorial constraints. This problem has numerous motivations including DNA computing and DNA self-assembly. Previous…
The order preserving pattern matching (OPPM) problem is, given a pattern string $p$ and a text string $t$, find all substrings of $t$ which have the same relative orders as $p$. In this paper, we consider two variants of the OPPM problem…
Given $d$ strings over the alphabet $\{0,1,\ldots,\sigma{-}1\}$, the classical Aho--Corasick data structure allows us to find all $occ$ occurrences of the strings in any text $T$ in $O(|T| + occ)$ time using $O(m\log m)$ bits of space,…
In the $k$-Edit Circular Pattern Matching ($k$-Edit CPM) problem, we are given a length-$n$ text $T$, a length-$m$ pattern $P$, and a positive integer threshold $k$, and we are to report all starting positions of the substrings of $T$ that…
We consider document listing on string collections, that is, finding in which strings a given pattern appears. In particular, we focus on repetitive collections: a collection of size $N$ over alphabet $[1,\sigma]$ is composed of $D$ copies…
Palindromes are strings that read the same forward and backward. The computation of palindromic structures within strings is a fundamental problem in string algorithms, being motivated by potential applications in formal language theory and…
