The Suffix Array SA(S) of a string S[1 ... n] is an array containing all the suffixes of S sorted by lexicographic order. The suffix array is one of the most well known indexing data structures, and it functions as a key tool in many string…
Suffix trees are key and efficient data structure for solving string problems. A suffix tree is a compressed trie containing all the suffixes of a given text of length $n$ with a linear construction cost. In this work, we introduce an…
The longest common prefix (LCP) array is a versatile auxiliary data structure in indexed string matching. It can be used to speed up searching using the suffix array (SA) and provides an implicit representation of the topology of an…
The notion of Lyndon word and Lyndon factorization has shown to have unexpected applications in theory as well in developing novel algorithms on words. A counterpart to these notions are those of inverse Lyndon word and inverse Lyndon…
In this article, we give a precise mathematical meaning to `linear? time' that matches experimental behaviour of the algorithm. The sorting algorithm is not our own, it is a variant of radix sort with counting sort as a subroutine. The true…
A generalized lexicographic order on words is a lexicographic order where the total order of the alphabet depends on the position of the comparison. A generalized Lyndon word is a finite word which is strictly smallest among its class of…
It is a fundamental property of non-letter Lyndon words that they can be expressed as a concatenation of two shorter Lyndon words. This leads to a naive lower bound log_{2}(n)} + 1 for the number of distinct Lyndon factors that a Lyndon…
The process of sorting the suffixes of a text plays a fundamental role in Text Algorithms. They are used for instance in the constructions of the Burrows-Wheeler transform and the suffix array, widely used in several fields of Computer…
We give efficient algorithms for ranking Lyndon words of length $n$ over an alphabet of size $\sigma$. The rank of a Lyndon word is its position in the sequence of lexicographically ordered Lyndon words of the same length. The outputs are…
This paper presents a general technique for optimally transforming any dynamic data structure that operates on atomic and indivisible keys by constant-time comparisons, into a data structure that handles unbounded-length keys whose…
Suffix arrays encode the lexicographical order of all suffixes of a text and are often combined with the Longest Common Prefix array (LCP) to simulate navigational queries on the suffix tree in reduced space. In space-critical applications…
The suffix trees are fundamental data structures for various kinds of string processing. The suffix tree of a text string $T$ of length $n$ has $O(n)$ nodes and edges, and the string label of each edge is encoded by a pair of positions in…
A seed in a word is a relaxed version of a period in which the occurrences of the repeating subword may overlap. We show a linear-time algorithm computing a linear-size representation of all the seeds of a word (the number of seeds might be…
We show how to modify the linear-time construction algorithm for suffix arrays based on induced sorting (Nong et al., DCC'09) such that it computes the array of longest common prefixes (LCP-array) as well. Practical tests show that this…
Given a string $T$, it is known that its suffix tree can be represented using the compact directed acyclic word graph (CDAWG) with $e_T$ arcs, taking overall $O(e_T+e_{{\overline{T}}})$ words of space, where ${\overline{T}}$ is the reverse…
In the past thirty years, numerous algorithms for building the suffix array of a string have been proposed. In 2021, the notion of suffix array was extended from strings to DFAs, and it was shown that the resulting data structure can be…
We introduce a new class of straight-line programs (SLPs), named the Lyndon SLP, inspired by the Lyndon trees (Barcelo, 1990). Based on this SLP, we propose a self-index data structure of $O(g)$ words of space that can be built from a…
Covers being one of the most popular form of regularities in strings, have drawn much attention over time. In this paper, we focus on the problem of linear time inference of strings from cover arrays using the least sized alphabet possible.…

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…
