An arc-annotated string is a string of characters, called bases, augmented with a set of pairs, called arcs, each connecting two bases. Given arc-annotated strings $P$ and $Q$ the arc-preserving subsequence problem is to determine if $P$…

We study the influence of a graph parameter called modular-width on the time complexity for optimally solving well-known polynomial problems such as Maximum Matching, Triangle Counting, and Maximum $s$-$t$ Vertex-Capacitated Flow. The…

The order preserving pattern matching (OPPM) problem is, given a pattern string $p$ and a text string $t$, find all substrings of $t$ which have the same relative orders as $p$. In this paper, we consider two variants of the OPPM problem…

String matching is a fundamental problem in computer science, with critical applications in text retrieval, bioinformatics, and data analysis. Among the numerous solutions that have emerged for this problem in recent decades,…

Re-Pair is an effective grammar-based compression scheme achieving strong compression rates in practice. Let $n$, $\sigma$, and $d$ be the text length, alphabet size, and dictionary size of the final grammar, respectively. In their original…

We revisit the classic problem of simplex range searching and related problems in computational geometry. We present a collection of new results which improve previous bounds by multiple logarithmic factors that were caused by the use of…

Given a pattern string $P$ of length $n$ consisting of $\delta$ distinct characters and a query string $T$ of length $m$, where the characters of $P$ and $T$ are drawn from an alphabet $\Sigma$ of size $\Delta$, the {\em exact string…

It is shown that a context-free grammar of size $m$ that produces a single string $w$ (such a grammar is also called a string straight-line program) can be transformed in linear time into a context-free grammar for $w$ of size…

Given a pattern x of length m and a text y of length n, both over an ordered alphabet, the order-preserving pattern matching problem consists in finding all substrings of the text with the same relative order as the pattern. It is an…

Integer programs with m constraints are solvable in pseudo-polynomial time in $\Delta$, the largest coefficient in a constraint, when m is a fixed constant. We give a new algorithm with a running time of $O(\sqrt{m}\Delta)^{2m} + O(nm)$,…

A Longest Common Extension (LCE) query on a text $T$ of length $N$ asks for the length of the longest common prefix of suffixes starting at given two positions. We show that the signature encoding $\mathcal{G}$ of size $w = O(\min(z \log N…

String matching is the problem of finding all the occurrences of a pattern in a text. We propose improved versions of the fast family of string matching algorithms based on hashing $q$-grams. The improvement consists of considering minimal…

This paper reformulates the problem of finding a longest common increasing subsequence of the two given input sequences in a very succinct way. An extremely simple linear space algorithm based on the new formula can find a longest common…

In this paper, we consider two versions of the Text Assembling problem. We are given a sequence of strings $s^1,\dots,s^n$ of total length $L$ that is a dictionary, and a string $t$ of length $m$ that is texts. The first version of the…

We show that for all given $n,t,w \in \{1,2,...\}$ with $n<2^w$, an array of $n$ entries of $w$ bits each can be represented on a word RAM with a word length of $w$ bits in at most $nw+\lceil n(t/(2 w))^t\rceil$ bits of uninitialized memory…

Lexicographically minimal string rotation is a fundamental problem in string processing that has recently garnered significant attention in quantum computing. Near-optimal quantum algorithms have been proposed for solving this problem,…

In the k-mappability problem, we are given a string x of length n and integers m and k, and we are asked to count, for each length-m factor y of x, the number of other factors of length m of x that are at Hamming distance at most k from y.…

In this paper we address the constrained longest common subsequence problem. Given two sequences $X$, $Y$ and a constrained sequence $P$, a sequence $Z$ is a constrained longest common subsequence for $X$ and $Y$ with respect to $P$ if $Z$…

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…

Computing the {\em matching statistics} of a string $P[1..m]$ with respect to a text $T[1..n]$ is a fundamental problem which has application to genome sequence comparison. In this paper, we study the problem of computing the matching…
