This paper investigates the (quasi-)periodicity of a string when the string is edited. A string C is called a cover (as known as a quasi-period) of a string T if each character of T lies within some occurrence of C. By definition, a cover of T must be a border of T; that is, it occurs both as a prefix and as a suffix of T. In this paper, we focus on the changes in the longest border and the shortest cover of a string when the string is edited only once. We propose a data structure of size O(n) that computes the longest border and the shortest cover of the string in O(𝓁 log n) time after an edit operation (either insertion, deletion, or substitution of some string) is applied to the input string T of length n, where 𝓁 is the length of the string being inserted or substituted. The data structure can be constructed in O(n) time given string T.
