Abstract

In the streaming multi-pattern search problem, which is also known as the streaming dictionary matching problem, a set D={P_1,P_2, . . . ,P_d} of d patterns (strings over an alphabet Sigma), called the dictionary, is given to be preprocessed. Then, a text T arrives one  character at a time and the goal is to report, before the next character arrives, the longest pattern in the dictionary that is a current suffix of T. We prove that for a constant size alphabet, there exists a randomized Monte-Carlo algorithm for the streaming dictionary matching problem that takes constant time per character and uses O(d log m) words of space, where m is the length of the longest pattern in the dictionary. In the case where the alphabet size is not constant, we introduce two new randomized Monte-Carlo algorithms with the following complexities:

* O(log log |Sigma|) time per character in the worst case  and O(d log m) words of space.

* O(1/epsilon) time per character in the worst case  and O(d |\Sigma|^epsilon log m/epsilon) words of space for any 0<epsilon<= 1.

These results improve upon the algorithm of [Clifford et al., ESA'15] which uses O(d log m) words of space and takes O(log log (m+d)) time per character.
