  • Computing Palindromes on a Trie in Linear Time
    Takuya Mieno; Mitsuru Funakoshi; Shunsuke Inenaga
    Lead, 33rd International Symposium on Algorithms and Computation (ISAAC 2022), 248, Dec. 2022, Peer-reviwed, A trie T is a rooted tree such that each edge is labeled by a single character from the alphabet, and the labels of out-going edges from the same node are mutually distinct. Given a trie T with n edges, we show how to compute all distinct palindromes and all maximal palindromes on T in O(n) time, in the case of integer alphabets of size polynomial in n. This improves the state-of-the-art O(n log h)-time algorithms by Funakoshi et al. [PSC 2019], where h is the height of T . Using our new algorithms, the eertree with suffix links for a given trie T can readily be obtained in O(n) time. Further, our trie-based O(n)-space data structure allows us to report all distinct palindromes and maximal palindromes in a query string represented in the trie T , in output optimal time. This is an improvement over an existing (naïve) solution that precomputes and stores all distinct palindromes and maximal palindromes for each and every string in the trie T separately, using a total O(n2) preprocessing time and space, and reports them in output optimal time upon query.

  • Shortest Unique Palindromic Substring Queries in Semi-dynamic Settings
    Takuya Mieno; Mitsuru Funakoshi
    Lead, Lecture Notes in Computer Science (including subseries Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence and Lecture Notes in Bioinformatics), 13270 LNCS, 425-438, 29 May 2022, Peer-reviwed, A palindromic substring T[i.j] of a string T is said to be a shortest unique palindromic substring (SUPS) in T for an interval [p, q] if T[i.j] is a shortest one such that T[i.j] occurs only once in T, and [i, j] contains [p, q]. The SUPS problem is, given a string T of length n, to construct a data structure that can compute all the SUPSs for any given query interval. It is known that any SUPS query can be answered in O(α) time after O(n)-time preprocessing, where α is the number of SUPSs to output [Inoue et al., 2018]. In this paper, we first show that α is at most 4, and the upper bound is tight. Also, we present an algorithm to solve the SUPS problem for a sliding window that can answer any query in O(log log W) time and update data structures in amortized O(log σ) time, where W is the size of the window, and σ is the alphabet size. Furthermore, we consider the SUPS problem in the after-edit model and present an efficient algorithm. Namely, we present an algorithm that uses O(n) time for preprocessing and answers any k SUPS queries in O(log nlog log n+ klog log n) time after single character substitution. As a by-product, we propose a fully-dynamic data structure for range minimum queries (RmQs) with a constraint where the width of each query range is limited to polylogarithmic. The constrained RmQ data structure can answer such a query in constant time and support a single-element edit operation in amortized constant time.

  • Computing Minimal Unique Substrings for a Sliding Window
    Takuya Mieno; Yuta Fujishige; Yuto Nakashima; Shunsuke Inenaga; Hideo Bannai; Masayuki Takeda
    Lead, Algorithmica, Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 84, 3, 670-693, Mar. 2022, Peer-reviwed, Abstract

    A substring u of a string T is called a minimal unique substring (MUS) of T if u occurs exactly once in T and any proper substring of u occurs at least twice in T. In this paper, we study the problem of computing MUSs for a sliding window over a given string T. We first show how the set of MUSs can change when the window slides over T. We then present an $$O(n\log \sigma ')$$-time and O(d)-space algorithm to compute MUSs for a sliding window of size d over the input string T of length n, where $$\sigma '\le d$$ is the maximum number of distinct characters in every window.

  • A Separation of γ and b via Thue–Morse Words
    Hideo Bannai; Mitsuru Funakoshi; Tomohiro I; Dominik Köppl; Takuya Mieno; Takaaki Nishimoto
    String Processing and Information Retrieval, Springer International Publishing, 12944 LNCS, 167-178, 2021, Peer-reviwed, We prove that for n≥ 2, the size b(tn) of the smallest bidirectional scheme for the nth Thue–Morse word tn is n+ 2. Since Kutsukake et al. [SPIRE 2020] show that the size γ(tn) of the smallest string attractor for tn is 4 for n≥ 4, this shows for the first time that there is a separation between the size of the smallest string attractor γ and the size of the smallest bidirectional scheme b, i.e., there exist string families such that γ= o(b).

  • On the Approximation Ratio of LZ-End to LZ77
    Takumi Ideue; Takuya Mieno; Mitsuru Funakoshi; Yuto Nakashima; Shunsuke Inenaga; Masayuki Takeda
    String Processing and Information Retrieval, Springer International Publishing, 12944 LNCS, 114-126, 2021, Peer-reviwed, A family of Lempel-Ziv factorizations is a well-studied string structure. The LZ-End factorization is a member of the family that achieved faster extraction of any substrings (Kreft & Navarro, TCS 2013). One of the interests for LZ-End factorizations is the possible difference between the size of LZ-End and LZ77 factorizations. They also showed families of strings where the approximation ratio of the number of LZ-End phrases to the number of LZ77 phrases asymptotically approaches 2. However, the alphabet size of these strings is unbounded. In this paper, we analyze the LZ-End factorization of the period-doubling sequence. We also show that the approximation ratio for the period-doubling sequence asymptotically approaches 2 for the binary alphabet.

  • Minimal Unique Palindromic Substrings After Single-Character Substitution
    Mitsuru Funakoshi; Takuya Mieno
    String Processing and Information Retrieval, Springer International Publishing, 12944 LNCS, 33-46, 2021, Peer-reviwed, A palindrome is a string that reads the same forward and backward. A palindromic substring w of a string T is called a minimal unique palindromic substring (MUPS) of T if w occurs only once in T and any proper palindromic substring of w occurs at least twice in T. MUPSs are utilized for answering the shortest unique palindromic substring problem, which is motivated by molecular biology [Inoue et al., 2018]. Given a string T of length n, all MUPSs of T can be computed in O(n) time. In this paper, we study the problem of updating the set of MUPSs when a character in the input string T is substituted by another character. We first analyze the number d of changes of MUPSs when a character is substituted, and show that d is in O(log n). Further, we present an algorithm that uses O(n) time and space for preprocessing, and updates the set of MUPSs in O(log σ+ (log log n) 2+ d) time where σ is the alphabet size. We also propose a variant of the algorithm, which runs in optimal O(1 + d) time when the alphabet size is constant.

  • Shortest unique substring queries on run-length encoded strings
    Takuya Mieno; Shunsuke Inenaga; Hideo Bannai; Masayuki Takeda
    Lead, Leibniz International Proceedings in Informatics, LIPIcs, Schloss Dagstuhl- Leibniz-Zentrum fur Informatik GmbH, Dagstuhl Publishing, 58, 01 Aug. 2016, Peer-reviwed, We consider the problem of answering shortest unique substring (SUS) queries on run-length encoded strings. For a string S, a unique substring u = S[i..j] is said to be a shortest unique substring (SUS) of S containing an interval [s, t] (i ≤ s ≤ t ≤ j) if for any i0 ≤ s ≤t ≤j0 with j - i >
    j0 - i0, S[i0..j0] occurs at least twice in S. Given a run-length encoding of size m of a string of length N, we show that we can construct a data structure of size O(m + πs(N,m)) in O(mlogm + πc(N,m)) time such that queries can be answered in O(πq(N,m) + k) time, where k is the size of the output (the number of SUSs), and πs(N,m), πc(N,m), πq(N,m) are, respectively, the size, construction time, and query time for a predecessor/successor query data structure of m elements for the universe of [1,N]. Using the data structure by Beam and Fich (JCSS 2002), this results in a data structure of O(m) space that is constructed in O(mlogm) time, and answers queries in O( √ log m/log logm + k) time.
