Fici, Restivo, Silva, and Zamboni define a $\textit{$k$-anti-power}$ to be a concatenation of $k$ consecutive words that are pairwise distinct and have the same length. They ask for the maximum $k$ such that every aperiodic recurrent word…
In the Shortest-Superstring problem, we are given a set of strings S and want to find a string that contains all strings in S as substrings and has minimum length. This is a classical problem in approximation and the best known…
Upper bounds on the maximum number of minimal codewords in a binary code follow from the theory of matroids. Random coding provide lower bounds. In this paper we compare these bounds with analogous bounds for the cycle code of graphs. This…
The sensitivity of a string compression algorithm $C$ asks how much the output size $C(T)$ for an input string $T$ can increase when a single character edit operation is performed on $T$. This notion enables one to measure the robustness of…
We analyze the grammar generation algorithm of the RePair compression algorithm and show the relation between a grammar generated by RePair and maximal repeats. We reveal that RePair replaces step by step the most frequent pairs within the…
Detecting all the strings that occur in a text more frequently or less frequently than expected according to an IID or a Markov model is a basic problem in string mining, yet current algorithms are based on data structures that are either…
We show that the Longest Common Prefix Array of a text collection of total size n on alphabet [1, {\sigma}] can be computed from the Burrows-Wheeler transformed collection in O(n log {\sigma}) time using o(n log {\sigma}) bits of working…
A string is closed if it has length 1 or has a nonempty border without internal occurrences. In this paper we introduce the definition of a \emph{maximal closed substring} (MCS), which is an occurrence of a closed substring that cannot be…
Sharir and Welzl [1] derived a bound on crossing-free matchings primarily based on solving a recurrence based on the size of the matchings. We show that the recurrence given in Lemma 2.3 in Sharir and Welzl can be improve to…
In this paper we study the number $r_{bwt}$ of equal-letter runs produced by the Burrows-Wheeler transform ($BWT$) when it is applied to purely morphic finite words, which are words generated by iterating prolongable morphisms. Such a…
A string $w$ is called a minimal absent word (MAW) for another string $T$ if $w$ does not occur (as a substring) in $T$ and any proper substring of $w$ occurs in $T$. State-of-the-art data structures for reporting the set $\mathsf{MAW}(T)$…
A well-known fact in the field of lossless text compression is that high-order entropy is a weak model when the input contains long repetitions. Motivated by this, decades of research have generated myriads of so-called dictionary…
A string $w$ is called a minimal absent word (MAW) for another string $T$ if $w$ does not occur in $T$ but the proper substrings of $w$ occur in $T$. For example, let $\Sigma = \{\mathtt{a, b, c}\}$ be the alphabet. Then, the set of MAWs…
The relationship between the length of a word and the maximum length of its unbordered factors is investigated in this paper. Consider a finite word w of length n. We call a word bordered, if it has a proper prefix which is also a suffix of…
An $(r, s)$-formation is a concatenation of $s$ permutations of $r$ letters. If $u$ is a sequence with $r$ distinct letters, then let $\mathit{Ex}(u, n)$ be the maximum length of any $r$-sparse sequence with $n$ distinct letters which has…
The cornerstone of any algorithm computing all repetitions in a string of length n in O(n) time is the fact that the number of runs (or maximal repetitions) is O(n). We give a simple proof of this result. As a consequence of our approach,…
We consider the problem of {\em restructuring} compressed texts without explicit decompression. We present algorithms which allow conversions from compressed representations of a string $T$ produced by any grammar-based compression…
The longest common prefix array is a very advantageous data structure that, combined with the suffix array and the Burrows-Wheeler transform, allows to efficiently compute some combinatorial properties of a string useful in several…
We consider the communication complexity of the Hamming distance of two strings. Bille et al. [SPIRE 2018] considered the communication complexity of the longest common prefix (LCP) problem in the setting where the two parties have their…
Given a string $T$ on an alphabet of size $\sigma$, we describe a bidirectional Burrows-Wheeler index that takes $O(|T|\log{\sigma})$ bits of space, and that supports the addition \emph{and removal} of one character, on the left or right…
