We describe how, given a text $T [1..n]$ and a positive constant $\epsilon$, we can build a simple $O (z \log n)$-space index, where $z$ is the number of phrases in the LZ77 parse of $T$, such that later, given a pattern $P [1..m]$, in $O…

In this paper, we consider the ``Shortest Superstring Problem''(SSP) or the ``Shortest Common Superstring Problem''(SCS). The problem is as follows. For a positive integer $n$, a sequence of n strings $S=(s^1,\dots,s^n)$ is given. We should…

In this paper we initiate the study of computing a maximal (not necessarily maximum) repeating pattern in a single input string, where the corresponding problems have been studied (e.g., a maximal common subsequence) only in two or more…

We consider the problem of querying a string (or, a database) of length $N$ bits to determine all the locations where a substring (query) of length $M$ appears either exactly or is within a Hamming distance of $K$ from the query. We assume…

In this paper we study the fundamental problem of maintaining a dynamic collection of strings under the following operations: concat - concatenates two strings, split - splits a string into two at a given position, compare - finds the…

Given a text $T$ and a pattern $P$, the order-preserving matching problem is to find all substrings in $T$ which have the same relative orders as $P$. Order-preserving matching has been an active research area since it was introduced by…

A run in a string is a maximal periodic substring. For example, the string $\texttt{bananatree}$ contains the runs $\texttt{anana} = (\texttt{an})^{3/2}$ and $\texttt{ee} = \texttt{e}^2$. There are less than $n$ runs in any length-$n$…

We study sketching and streaming algorithms for the Longest Common Subsequence problem (LCS) on strings of small alphabet size $|\Sigma|$. For the problem of deciding whether the LCS of strings $x,y$ has length at least $L$, we obtain a…

In this work, we study the limits of compressed data structures, i.e., structures that support various queries on an input text $T\in\Sigma^n$ using space proportional to the size of $T$ in compressed form. Nearly all fundamental queries…

In this paper, we propose a data structure, a quadruple neighbor list (QN-list, for short), to support real time queries of all longest increasing subsequence (LIS) and LIS with constraints over sequential data streams. The QN-List built by…

We show that the number of distinct squares in a packed string of length $n$ over an alphabet of size $\sigma$ can be computed in $O(n/\log_\sigma n)$ time in the word-RAM model. This paper is the first to introduce a sublinear-time…

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…

Given a set of strings, the shortest common superstring problem is to find the shortest possible string that contains all the input strings. The problem is NP-hard, but a lot of work has gone into designing approximation algorithms for…

Internal pattern matching requires one to answer queries about factors of a given string. Many results are known on answering internal period queries, asking for the periods of a given factor. In this paper we investigate (for the first…

The Average Common Substring (ACS) is a popular alignment-free distance measure for phylogeny reconstruction. The ACS can be computed in O(n) space and time, where n=x+y is the input size. The compressed string matching is the study of…

The 2-LCPS problem, first introduced by Chowdhury et al. [Fundam. Inform., 129(4):329-340, 2014], asks one to compute (the length of) a longest palindromic common subsequence between two given strings $A$ and $B$. We show that the 2-LCPS…

Encoding data structures store enough information to answer the queries they are meant to support but not enough to recover their underlying datasets. In this paper we give the first encoding data structure for the challenging problem of…

We study the online variant of the language distance problem for two classical formal languages, the language of palindromes and the language of squares, and for the two most fundamental distances, the Hamming distance and the edit…

We introduce the first index that can be built in $o(n)$ time for a text of length $n$, and can also be queried in $o(q)$ time for a pattern of length $q$. On an alphabet of size $\sigma$, our index uses $O(n\sqrt{\log n\log\sigma})$ bits,…

The fundamental question considered in algorithms on strings is that of indexing, that is, preprocessing a given string for specific queries. By now we have a number of efficient solutions for this problem when the queries ask for an exact…
