In 2020 Blasiok (ACM Trans. Algorithms 16(2) 3:1-3:28) constructed an optimal space streaming algorithm for the cardinality estimation problem with the space complexity of $\mathcal O(\varepsilon^{-2} \ln(\delta^{-1}) + \ln n)$ where…

Frequent pattern mining is widely used to find ``important'' or ``interesting'' patterns in data. While it is not easy to mathematically define such patterns, maximal frequent patterns are promising candidates, as frequency is a natural…

In the area of Pattern Recognition and Matching, finding a Longest Common Subsequence plays an important role. In this paper, we have proposed one algorithm based on parallel computation. We have used OpenMP API package as middleware to…

This note provides very simple, efficient algorithms for computing the number of distinct longest common subsequences of two input strings and for computing the number of LCS embeddings.

Recently, Ambainis gave an O(N^(2/3))-query quantum walk algorithm for element distinctness, and more generally, an O(N^(L/(L+1)))-query algorithm for finding L equal numbers. We point out that this algorithm actually solves a much more…

Pattern matching is a fundamental process in almost every scientific domain. The problem involves finding the positions of a given pattern (usually of short length) in a reference stream of data (usually of large length). The matching can…

Given two {0,1}-sequences X and Y of lengths m and n, respectively, we write L(X,Y) to denote the length of the longest common subsequence (LCS) of X and Y, and write L(m,n) to denote the expected value of L(X,Y) when X and Y are random…

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…

Given a sequence $S$ of length $n$, a letter-duplicated subsequence is a subsequence of $S$ in the form of $x_1^{d_1}x_2^{d_2}\cdots x_k^{d_k}$ with $x_i\in\Sigma$, $x_j\neq x_{j+1}$ and $d_i\geq 2$ for all $i$ in $[k]$ and $j$ in $[k-1]$.…

In this work, we obtain the following new results. 1. Given a sequence $D=((h_1,s_1), (h_2,s_2) ..., (h_n,s_n))$ of number pairs, where $s_i>0$ for all $i$, and a number $L_h$, we propose an O(n)-time algorithm for finding an index interval…

The longest common extension (LCE) of two indices in a string is the length of the longest identical substrings starting at these two indices. The LCE problem asks to preprocess a string into a compact data structure that supports fast LCE…

We consider the Abelian longest common factor problem in two scenarios: when input strings are uncompressed and are of size $n$, and when the input strings are run-length encoded and their compressed representations have size at most $m$.…

We study local computation algorithms (LCA) for maximum matching. An LCA does not return its output entirely, but reveals parts of it upon query. For matchings, each query is a vertex $v$; the LCA should return whether $v$ is matched -- and…

In this paper, we describe a new type of match between a pattern and a text that aren't necessarily maximal in the query, but still contain useful matching information: locally maximal exact matches (LEMs). There are usually a large amount…

A Longest Common Extension (LCE) query on a text $T$ of length $N$ asks for the length of the longest common prefix of suffixes starting at given two positions. We show that the signature encoding $\mathcal{G}$ of size $w = O(\min(z \log N…
