Online Algorithms for Constructing Linear-Size Suffix Trie
The suffix trees are fundamental data structures for various kinds of string processing. The suffix tree of a string T of length n has O(n) nodes and edges, and the string label of each edge is encoded by a pair of positions in T. Thus, even after the tree is built, the input text T needs to be kept stored and random access to T is still needed. The linear-size suffix tries (LSTs), proposed by Crochemore et al. [Linear-size suffix tries, TCS 638:171-178, 2016], are a "stand-alone" alternative to the suffix trees. Namely, the LST of a string T of length n occupies O(n) total space, and supports pattern matching and other tasks in the same efficiency as the suffix tree without the need to store the input text T. Crochemore et al. proposed an offline algorithm which transforms the suffix tree of T into the LST of T in O(n log sigma) time and O(n) space, where sigma is the alphabet size. In this paper, we present two types of online algorithms which "directly" construct the LST, from right to left, and from left to right, without constructing the suffix tree as an intermediate structure. Both algorithms construct the LST incrementally when a new symbol is read, and do not access to the previously read symbols. The right-to-left construction algorithm works in O(n log sigma) time and O(n) space and the left-to-right construction algorithm works in O(n (log sigma + log n / log log n)) time and O(n) space. The main feature of our algorithms is that the input text does not need to be stored
EERTREE: An Efficient Data Structure for Processing Palindromes in Strings
We propose a new linear-size data structure which provides a fast access to
all palindromic substrings of a string or a set of strings. This structure
inherits some ideas from the construction of both the suffix trie and suffix
tree. Using this structure, we present simple and efficient solutions for a
number of problems involving palindromes.Comment: 21 pages, 2 figures. Accepted to IWOCA 201
On the Benefit of Merging Suffix Array Intervals for Parallel Pattern Matching
We present parallel algorithms for exact and approximate pattern matching
with suffix arrays, using a CREW-PRAM with processors. Given a static text
of length , we first show how to compute the suffix array interval of a
given pattern of length in
time for . For approximate pattern matching with differences or
mismatches, we show how to compute all occurrences of a given pattern in
time, where is the size of the alphabet
and . The workhorse of our algorithms is a data structure
for merging suffix array intervals quickly: Given the suffix array intervals
for two patterns and , we present a data structure for computing the
interval of in sequential time, or in
parallel time. All our data structures are of size bits (in addition to
the suffix array)
Practical Evaluation of Lempel-Ziv-78 and Lempel-Ziv-Welch Tries
We present the first thorough practical study of the Lempel-Ziv-78 and the
Lempel-Ziv-Welch computation based on trie data structures. With a careful
selection of trie representations we can beat well-tuned popular trie data
structures like Judy, m-Bonsai or Cedar
