Minimal Suffix and Rotation of a Substring in Optimal Time
For a text given in advance, the substring minimal suffix queries ask to
determine the lexicographically minimal non-empty suffix of a substring
specified by the location of its occurrence in the text. We develop a data
structure answering such queries optimally: in constant time after linear-time
preprocessing. This improves upon the results of Babenko et al. (CPM 2014),
whose trade-off solution is characterized by product of these
time complexities. Next, we extend our queries to support concatenations of
substrings, for which the construction and query time is preserved. We
apply these generalized queries to compute lexicographically minimal and
maximal rotations of a given substring in constant time after linear-time
preprocessing.
Our data structures mainly rely on properties of Lyndon words and Lyndon
factorizations. We combine them with further algorithmic and combinatorial
tools, such as fusion trees and the notion of order isomorphism of strings
Lyndon Factorization of Grammar Compressed Texts Revisited
We revisit the problem of computing the Lyndon factorization of a string w of length N which is given as a straight line program (SLP) of size n. For this problem, we show a new algorithm which runs in O(P(n, N) + Q(n, N)n log log N) time and O(n log N + S(n, N)) space where P(n, N), S(n,N), Q(n,N) are respectively the pre-processing time, space, and query time of a data structure for longest common extensions (LCE) on SLPs. Our algorithm improves the algorithm proposed by I et al. (TCS \u2717), and can be more efficient than the O(N)-time solution by Duval (J. Algorithms \u2783) when w is highly compressible
Fully dynamic data structure for LCE queries in compressed space
A Longest Common Extension (LCE) query on a text of length asks for
the length of the longest common prefix of suffixes starting at given two
positions. We show that the signature encoding of size [Mehlhorn et al., Algorithmica 17(2):183-198,
1997] of , which can be seen as a compressed representation of , has a
capability to support LCE queries in time,
where is the answer to the query, is the size of the Lempel-Ziv77
(LZ77) factorization of , and is an integer that can be handled
in constant time under word RAM model. In compressed space, this is the fastest
deterministic LCE data structure in many cases. Moreover, can be
enhanced to support efficient update operations: After processing
in time, we can insert/delete any (sub)string of length
into/from an arbitrary position of in time, where . This yields
the first fully dynamic LCE data structure. We also present efficient
construction algorithms from various types of inputs: We can construct
in time from uncompressed string ; in
time from grammar-compressed string
represented by a straight-line program of size ; and in time from LZ77-compressed string with factors. On top
of the above contributions, we show several applications of our data structures
which improve previous best known results on grammar-compressed string
processing.Comment: arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:1504.0695
Optimal construction of compressed indexes for highly repetitive texts
We propose algorithms that, given the input string of length n over integer alphabet of size σ, construct the Burrows–Wheeler transform (BWT), the permuted longest-common-prefix (PLCP) array, and the LZ77 parsing in O(n/ logσ n + r polylog n) time and working space, where r is the number of runs in the BWT of the input. These are the essential components of many compressed indexes such as compressed suffix tree, FM-index, and grammar and LZ77-based indexes, but also find numerous applications in sequence analysis and data compression. The value of r is a common measure of repetitiveness that is significantly smaller than n if the string is highly repetitive. Since just accessing every symbol of the string requires Ω(n/ logσ n) time, the presented algorithms are time and space optimal for inputs satisfying the assumption n/r ∈ Ω(polylog n) on the repetitiveness. For such inputs our result improves upon the currently fastest general algorithms of Belazzougui (STOC 2014) and Munro et al. (SODA 2017) which run in O(n) time and use O(n/ logσ n) working space. We also show how to use our techniques to obtain optimal solutions on highly repetitive data for other fundamental string processing problems such as: Lyndon factorization, construction of run-length compressed suffix arrays, and some classical “textbook” problems such as computing the longest substring occurring at least some fixed number of times.

Compressibility-Aware Quantum Algorithms on Strings
Sublinear time quantum algorithms have been established for many fundamental
problems on strings. This work demonstrates that new, faster quantum algorithms
can be designed when the string is highly compressible. We focus on two popular
and theoretically significant compression algorithms -- the Lempel-Ziv77
algorithm (LZ77) and the Run-length-encoded Burrows-Wheeler Transform (RL-BWT),
and obtain the results below.
We first provide a quantum algorithm running in time
for finding the LZ77 factorization of an input string with
factors. Combined with multiple existing results, this yields an
time quantum algorithm for finding the RL-BWT encoding
with BWT runs. Note that . We complement these
results with lower bounds proving that our algorithms are optimal (up to
polylog factors).
Next, we study the problem of compressed indexing, where we provide a
time quantum algorithm for constructing a recently
designed space structure with equivalent capabilities as the
suffix tree. This data structure is then applied to numerous problems to obtain
sublinear time quantum algorithms when the input is highly compressible. For
example, we show that the longest common substring of two strings of total
length can be computed in time, where is the
number of factors in the LZ77 factorization of their concatenation. This beats
the best known time quantum algorithm when is
sufficiently small
Rank, select and access in grammar-compressed strings
Given a string of length on a fixed alphabet of symbols, a
grammar compressor produces a context-free grammar of size that
generates and only . In this paper we describe data structures to
support the following operations on a grammar-compressed string:
\mbox{rank}_c(S,i) (return the number of occurrences of symbol before
position in ); \mbox{select}_c(S,i) (return the position of the th
occurrence of in ); and \mbox{access}(S,i,j) (return substring
). For rank and select we describe data structures of size
bits that support the two operations in time. We
propose another structure that uses
bits and that supports the two queries in , where
is an arbitrary constant. To our knowledge, we are the first to
study the asymptotic complexity of rank and select in the grammar-compressed
setting, and we provide a hardness result showing that significantly improving
the bounds we achieve would imply a major breakthrough on a hard
graph-theoretical problem. Our main result for access is a method that requires
bits of space and time to extract
consecutive symbols from . Alternatively, we can achieve query time using bits of space. This matches a lower bound stated by Verbin
and Yu for strings where is polynomially related to .Comment: 16 page
