In this work, we consider pattern matching variants in small space, that is, in the read-only setting, where we want to bound the space usage on top of storing the strings. Our main contribution is a space-time trade-off for the Internal…

The $d$-dimensional pattern matching problem is to find an occurrence of a pattern of length $m \times \dots \times m$ within a text of length $n \times \dots \times n$, with $n \ge m$. This task models various problems in text and image…

Searching for all occurrences of a pattern in a text is a fundamental problem in computer science with applications in many other fields, like natural language processing, information retrieval and computational biology. In the last two…

Given an indeterminate string pattern $p$ and an indeterminate string text $t$, the problem of order-preserving pattern matching with character uncertainties ($\mu$OPPM) is to find all substrings of $t$ that satisfy one of the possible…

Pattern matching is one of the fundamental problems in Computer Science. Both the classic version of the problem as well as the more sophisticated version where wildcards can also appear in the input can be solved in almost linear time…

Pattern matching queries on strings can be solved in linear time by Knuth-Morris-Pratt (KMP) algorithm. In 1973, Weiner introduced the suffix tree of a string [FOCS 1973] and showed that the seemingly more difficult problem of computing…

The orthogonal multi-matching pursuit (OMMP) is a natural extension of orthogonal matching pursuit (OMP). We denote the OMMP with the parameter $M$ as OMMP(M) where $M\geq 1$ is an integer. The main difference between OMP and OMMP(M) is…

Pattern matching with wildcards is the problem of finding all factors of a text $t$ of length $n$ that match a pattern $x$ of length $m$, where wildcards (characters that match everything) may be present. In this paper we present a number…

Given a pattern string $P$ of length $n$ and a query string $T$ of length $m$, where the characters of $P$ and $T$ are drawn from an alphabet of size $\Delta$, the {\em exact string matching} problem consists of finding all occurrences of…

The classical pattern matching asks for locating all occurrences of one string, called the pattern, in another, called the text, where a string is simply a sequence of characters. Due to the potential practical applications, it is desirable…

The $k$-mismatch problem consists in computing the Hamming distance between a pattern $P$ of length $m$ and every length-$m$ substring of a text $T$ of length $n$, if this distance is no more than $k$. In many real-world applications, any…

Packing several characters into one computer word is a simple and natural way to compress the representation of a string and to speed up its processing. Exploiting this idea, we propose an index for a packed string, based on a {\em sparse…

Regular expression matching is essential for many applications, such as finding patterns in text, exploring substrings in large DNA sequences, or lexical analysis. However, sequential regular expression matching may be time-prohibitive for…

Sequential pattern mining (SPM) is an important branch of knowledge discovery that aims to mine frequent sub-sequences (patterns) in a sequential database. Various SPM methods have been investigated, and most of them are classical SPM…

A fundamental question that shrouds the emergence of massively parallel computing (MPC) platforms is how can the additional power of the MPC paradigm be leveraged to achieve faster algorithms compared to classical parallel models such as…

The pattern matching problem with swaps is to find all occurrences of a pattern in a text while allowing the pattern to swap adjacent symbols. The goal is to design fast matching algorithm that takes advantage of the bit parallelism of…

We introduce the poly-streaming model, a generalization of streaming models of computation in which $k$ processors process $k$ data streams containing a total of $N$ items. The algorithm is allowed $O\left(f(k)\cdot M_1\right)$ space, where…

We consider the problem of pattern matching with $k$ mismatches, where there can be don't care or wild card characters in the pattern. Specifically, given a pattern $P$ of length $m$ and a text $T$ of length $n$, we want to find all…

We consider string matching with variable length gaps. Given a string $T$ and a pattern $P$ consisting of strings separated by variable length gaps (arbitrary strings of length in a specified range), the problem is to find all ending…

A pattern p (i.e., a string of variables and terminals) matches a word w, if w can be obtained by uniformly replacing the variables of p by terminal words. The respective matching problem, i.e., deciding whether or not a given pattern…
