Fully-Online Suffix Tree and Directed Acyclic Word Graph Construction for Multiple Texts
We consider construction of the suffix tree and the directed acyclic word
graph (DAWG) indexing data structures for a collection of texts,
where a new symbol may be appended to any text in , at any time. This fully-online scenario, which arises in dynamically
indexing multi-sensor data, is a natural generalization of the long solved
semi-online text indexing problem, where texts are
permanently fixed before the next text is processed for each . We present fully-online algorithms that construct the suffix tree and
the DAWG for in time and space, where
is the total lengths of the strings in and is their
alphabet size. The standard explicit representation of the suffix tree leaf
edges and some DAWG edges must be relaxed in our fully-online scenario, since
too many updates on these edges are required in the worst case. Instead, we
provide access to the updated suffix tree leaf edge labels and the DAWG edges
to be redirected via auxiliary data structures, in time per
added character.Comment: 28 pages, 6 figures, LaTe
