Abstract

A gapped palindrome is a string uvu^{R}, where u^{R} represents the reverse of string u. In this paper we show three efficient algorithms for counting the occurrences of gapped palindromes in a given string S of length N. First, we present a solution in O(N) time for counting all gapped palindromes without additional constraints. Then, in the case where the length of v is constrained to be in an interval [g, G], we show an algorithm with running time O(N log N). Finally, we show an algorithm in O(N log² N) time for a more general case where we count gapped palindromes uvu^{R}, where u^{R} starts at position i with g(i) ≤ v ≤ G(i), for all positions i.
