We consider computing a longest palindrome in the streaming model, where the symbols arrive one-by-one and we do not have random access to the input. While computing the answer exactly using sublinear space is not possible in such a…

We propose an algorithm for approximative dictionary lookup, where altered strings are matched against reference forms. The algorithm makes use of a divergence function between strings -- broadly belonging to the family of edit distances;…

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 generalize Karp-Rabin string matching to handle multiple patterns in $\mathcal{O}(n \log n + m)$ time and $\mathcal{O}(s)$ space, where $n$ is the length of the text and $m$ is the total length of the $s$ patterns, returning correct…

We give a 3/2-approximation algorithm for stable matchings that runs in $O(m)$ time. The previously best known algorithm by McDermid has the same approximation ratio but runs in $O(n^{3/2}m)$ time, where $n$ denotes the number of people and…

We study the fundamental problem of approximating the edit distance of two strings. After an extensive line of research led to the development of a constant-factor approximation algorithm in almost-linear time, recent years have witnessed a…

Lately, there is a growing interest in dynamic string matching problems. Specifically, the dynamic Longest Common Factor problem has been researched and some interesting results has been reached. In this paper we examine another classic…

In this paper we give an algorithm for streaming $k$-edit approximate pattern matching which uses space $\widetilde{O}(k^2)$ and time $\widetilde{O}(k^2)$ per arriving symbol. This improves substantially on the recent algorithm of…

In the $k$-mismatch problem, given a pattern and a text of length $n$ and $m$ respectively, we have to find if the text has a sub-string with a Hamming distance of at most $k$ from the pattern. This has been studied in the classical setting…

Edit distance is a measure of similarity of two strings based on the minimum number of character insertions, deletions, and substitutions required to transform one string into the other. The edit distance can be computed exactly using a…

In the usual trace reconstruction problem, the goal is to exactly reconstruct an unknown string of length $n$ after it passes through a deletion channel many times independently, producing a set of traces (i.e., random subsequences of the…

We consider the approximate pattern matching problem under the edit distance. Given a text $T$ of length $n$, a pattern $P$ of length $m$, and a threshold $k$, the task is to find the starting positions of all substrings of $T$ that can be…

We prove a precise formula for the minimal number K(n) such that every binary word of length $n$ can be divided into K(n) palindromes. Also we estimate the average number $\ol K(n)$ of palindromes composing a random binary word of the…

Given a text $T$ of length $n$ and a pattern $P$ of length $m$, the approximate pattern matching problem asks for computation of a particular \emph{distance} function between $P$ and every $m$-substring of $T$. We consider a…

We present two deterministic dynamic algorithms for the maximum matching problem. (1) An algorithm that maintains a $(2+\epsilon)$-approximate maximum matching in general graphs with $O(\text{poly}(\log n, 1/\epsilon))$ update time. (2) An…

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…

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…

Cadences are structurally maximal arithmetic progressions of indices corresponding to equal characters in an underlying string. This paper provides a polynomial time detection algorithm for 3-cadences in grammar-compressed binary strings.…

The parameterized matching problem is a variant of string matching, which is to search for all parameterized occurrences of a pattern $P$ in a text $T$. In considering matching algorithms, the combinatorial natures of strings, especially…

We study 4 problems in string matching, namely, regular expression matching, approximate regular expression matching, string edit distance, and subsequence indexing, on a standard word RAM model of computation that allows logarithmic-sized…
