We present a new scalable, lightweight algorithm to incrementally construct the BWT and FM-index of large string sets such as those produced by Next Generation Sequencing. The algorithm is designed for massive parallelism and can…
For a given graph $G$ with positive integral cost and delay on edges, distinct vertices $s$ and $t$, cost bound $C\in Z^{+}$ and delay bound $D\in Z^{+}$, the $k$ bi-constraint path ($k$BCP) problem is to compute $k$ disjoint $st$-paths…
The subgraph-subgraph matching problem is, given a pair of graphs and a positive integer $K$, to find $K$ vertices in the first graph, $K$ vertices in the second graph, and a bijection between them, so as to minimize the number of adjacency…
The Burrows-Wheeler Transform (BWT) is a word transformation introduced in 1994 for Data Compression. It has become a fundamental tool for designing self-indexing data structures, with important applications in several area in science and…
In highly repetitive strings, like collections of genomes from the same species, distinct measures of repetition all grow sublinearly in the length of the text, and indexes targeted to such strings typically depend only on one of these…
The problem of approximately computing the $k$ dominant Fourier coefficients of a vector $X$ quickly, and using few samples in time domain, is known as the Sparse Fourier Transform (sparse FFT) problem. A long line of work on the sparse FFT…
A parameterized string (p-string) is a string over an alphabet $(\Sigma_{s} \cup \Sigma_{p})$, where $\Sigma_{s}$ and $\Sigma_{p}$ are disjoint alphabets for static symbols (s-symbols) and for parameter symbols (p-symbols), respectively.…
The analysis of biological sequencing data has been one of the biggest applications of string algorithms. The approaches used in many such applications are based on the analysis of k-mers, which are short fixed-length strings present in a…
Given strings $P$ and $Q$ the (exact) string matching problem is to find all positions of substrings in $Q$ matching $P$. The classical Knuth-Morris-Pratt algorithm [SIAM J. Comput., 1977] solves the string matching problem in linear time…
Coresets have become an invaluable tool for solving $k$-means and kernel $k$-means clustering problems on large datasets with small numbers of clusters. On the other hand, spectral clustering works well on sparse graphs and has recently…
In this paper, we present the first study of the computational complexity of converting an automata-based text index structure, called the Compact Directed Acyclic Word Graph (CDAWG), of size $e$ for a text $T$ of length $n$ into other text…
Spectral clustering is a powerful unsupervised machine learning algorithm for clustering data with non convex or nested structures. With roots in graph theory, it uses the spectral properties of the Laplacian matrix to project the data in a…
In this paper we present an algorithm to compute the Lyndon array of a string $T$ of length $n$ as a byproduct of the inversion of the Burrows-Wheeler transform of $T$. Our algorithm runs in linear time using only a stack in addition to the…
The Burrows-Wheeler Transform (BWT) serves as the basis for many important sequence indexes. On very large datasets (e.g. genomic databases), classical BWT construction algorithms are often infeasible because they usually need to have the…
In this paper, we consider the problem of compressing a trie while supporting the powerful \emph{locate} queries: to return the pre-order identifiers of all nodes reached by a path labeled with a given query pattern. Our result builds on…
Graphs are extremely versatile and ubiquitous mathematical structures with potential to model a wide range of domains. For this reason, graph problems have been of interest since the early days of computer science. Some of these problems…
Given an array A of n real numbers, the maximum subarray problem is to find a contiguous subarray which has the largest sum. The k-maximum subarrays problem is to find k such subarrays with the largest sums. For the 1-maximum subarray the…
We study the Short Path Packing problem which asks, given a graph $G$, integers $k$ and $\ell$, and vertices $s$ and $t$, whether there exist $k$ pairwise internally vertex-disjoint $s$-$t$ paths of length at most $\ell$. The problem has…
A transversal of a hypergraph is a set of vertices intersecting each hyperedge. We design and analyze new exponential-time algorithms to enumerate all inclusion-minimal transversals of a hypergraph. For each fixed k>2, our algorithms for…
A new method for constructing minimum-redundancy binary prefix codes is described. Our method does not explicitly build a Huffman tree; instead it uses a property of optimal prefix codes to compute the codeword lengths corresponding to the…
