Computing the LCP Array of a Labeled Graph

Authors: Jarno N. Alanko, Davide Cenzato, Nicola Cotumaccio, Sung-Hwan Kim, Giovanni Manzini, and Nicola Prezza

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 296, 35th Annual Symposium on Combinatorial Pattern Matching (CPM 2024)

Abstract
The LCP array is an important tool in stringology, allowing to speed up pattern matching algorithms and enabling compact representations of the suffix tree. Recently, Conte et al. [DCC 2023] and Cotumaccio et al. [SPIRE 2023] extended the definition of this array to Wheeler DFAs and, ultimately, to arbitrary labeled graphs, proving that it can be used to efficiently solve matching statistics queries on the graph’s paths. In this paper, we provide the first efficient algorithm building the LCP array of a directed labeled graph with n nodes and m edges labeled over an alphabet of size σ. The first step is to transform the input graph G into a deterministic Wheeler pseudoforest G_{is} with O(n) edges encoding the lexicographically- smallest and largest strings entering in each node of the original graph. Using state-of-the-art algorithms, this step runs in O(min{mlog n, m+n²}) time on arbitrary labeled graphs, and in O(m) time on Wheeler DFAs. The LCP array of G stores the longest common prefixes between those strings, i.e. it can easily be derived from the LCP array of G_{is}. After arguing that the natural generalization of a compact-space LCP-construction algorithm by Beller et al. [J. Discrete Algorithms 2013] runs in time Ω(nσ) on pseudoforests, we present a new algorithm based on dynamic range stabbing building the LCP array of G_{is} in O(nlog σ) time and O(nlogσ) bits of working space. Combined with our reduction, we obtain the first efficient algorithm to build the LCP array of an arbitrary labeled graph. An implementation of our algorithm is publicly available at https://github.com/regindex/Labeled-Graph-LCP.

Random Wheeler Automata

Authors: Ruben Becker, Davide Cenzato, Sung-Hwan Kim, Bojana Kodric, Riccardo Maso, and Nicola Prezza

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 296, 35th Annual Symposium on Combinatorial Pattern Matching (CPM 2024)

Abstract
Wheeler automata were introduced in 2017 as a tool to generalize existing indexing and compression techniques based on the Burrows-Wheeler transform. Intuitively, an automaton is said to be Wheeler if there exists a total order on its states reflecting the natural co-lexicographic order of the strings labeling the automaton’s paths; this property makes it possible to represent the automaton’s topology in a constant number of bits per transition, as well as efficiently solving pattern matching queries on its accepted regular language. After their introduction, Wheeler automata have been the subject of a prolific line of research, both from the algorithmic and language-theoretic points of view. A recurring issue faced in these studies is the lack of large datasets of Wheeler automata on which the developed algorithms and theories could be tested. One possible way to overcome this issue is to generate random Wheeler automata. Motivated by this observation of practical nature, in this paper we initiate the theoretical study of random Wheeler automata, focusing our attention on the deterministic case (Wheeler DFAs - WDFAs). We start by naturally extending the Erdős-Rényi random graph model to WDFAs, and proceed by providing an algorithm generating uniform WDFAs according to this model. Our algorithm generates a uniform WDFA with n states, m transitions, and alphabet’s cardinality σ in O(m) expected time (O(mlog m) time w.h.p.) and constant working space for all alphabets of size σ ≤ m/ln m. The output WDFA is streamed directly to the output. As a by-product, we also give formulas for the number of distinct WDFAs and obtain that nσ + (n - σ) log σ bits are necessary and sufficient to encode a WDFA with n states and alphabet of size σ, up to an additive Θ(n) term. We present an implementation of our algorithm and show that it is extremely fast in practice, with a throughput of over 8 million transitions per second.

Sorting Finite Automata via Partition Refinement

Authors: Ruben Becker, Manuel Cáceres, Davide Cenzato, Sung-Hwan Kim, Bojana Kodric, Francisco Olivares, and Nicola Prezza

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 274, 31st Annual European Symposium on Algorithms (ESA 2023)

Abstract
Wheeler nondeterministic finite automata (WNFAs) were introduced in (Gagie et al., TCS 2017) as a powerful generalization of prefix sorting from strings to labeled graphs. WNFAs admit optimal solutions to classic hard problems on labeled graphs and languages such as compression and regular expression matching. The problem of deciding whether a given NFA is Wheeler is known to be NP-complete (Gibney and Thankachan, ESA 2019). Recently, however, Alanko et al. (Information and Computation 2021) showed how to side-step this complexity by switching to preorders: letting Q be the set of states and δ the set of transitions, they provided a O(|δ|⋅|Q|²)-time algorithm computing a totally-ordered partition (i.e. equivalence relation) of the WNFA’s states such that (1) equivalent states recognize the same regular language, and (2) the order of (the classes of) non-equivalent states is consistent with any Wheeler order, when one exists. As a result, the output is a preorder of the states as useful for pattern matching as standard Wheeler orders. Further extensions of this line of work (Cotumaccio et al., SODA 2021 and DCC 2022) generalized these concepts to arbitrary NFAs by introducing co-lex partial preorders: in general, any NFA admits a partial preorder of its states reflecting the co-lexicographic order of their accepted strings; the smaller the width of such preorder is, the faster regular expression matching queries can be performed. To date, the fastest algorithm for computing the smallest-width partial preorder on NFAs runs in O(|δ|² + |Q|^{5/2}) time (Cotumaccio, DCC 2022), while on DFAs the same task can be accomplished in O(min(|Q|²log|Q|, |δ|⋅|Q|)) time (Kim et al., CPM 2023). In this paper, we provide much more efficient solutions to the co-lex order computation problem. Our results are achieved by extending a classic algorithm for the relational coarsest partition refinement problem of Paige and Tarjan to work with ordered partitions. More specifically, we provide a O(|δ|log|Q|)-time algorithm computing a co-lex total preorder when the input is a Wheeler NFA, and an algorithm with the same time complexity computing the smallest-width co-lex partial order of any DFA. In addition, we present implementations of our algorithms and show that they are very efficient also in practice.

Faster Prefix-Sorting Algorithms for Deterministic Finite Automata

Authors: Sung-Hwan Kim, Francisco Olivares, and Nicola Prezza

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 259, 34th Annual Symposium on Combinatorial Pattern Matching (CPM 2023)

Abstract
Sorting is a fundamental algorithmic pre-processing technique which often allows to represent data more compactly and, at the same time, speeds up search queries on it. In this paper, we focus on the well-studied problem of sorting and indexing string sets. Since the introduction of suffix trees in 1973, dozens of suffix sorting algorithms have been described in the literature. In 2017, these techniques were extended to sets of strings described by means of finite automata: the theory of Wheeler graphs [Gagie et al., TCS'17] introduced automata whose states can be totally-sorted according to the co-lexicographic (co-lex in the following) order of the prefixes of words accepted by the automaton. More recently, in [Cotumaccio, Prezza, SODA'21] it was shown how to extend these ideas to arbitrary automata by means of partial co-lex orders. This work showed that a co-lex order of minimum width (thus optimizing search query times) on deterministic finite automata (DFAs) can be computed in O(m² + n^{5/2}) time, m being the number of transitions and n the number of states of the input DFA. In this paper, we exhibit new combinatorial properties of the minimum-width co-lex order of DFAs and exploit them to design faster prefix sorting algorithms. In particular, we describe two algorithms sorting arbitrary DFAs in O(mn) and O(n² log n) time, respectively, and an algorithm sorting acyclic DFAs in O(m log n) time. Within these running times, all algorithms compute also a smallest chain partition of the partial order (required to index the DFA). We present an experiment result to show that an optimized implementation of the O(n² log n)-time algorithm exhibits a nearly-linear behaviour on large deterministic pan-genomic graphs and is thus also of practical interest.

Simple Order-Isomorphic Matching Index with Expected Compact Space

Authors: Sung-Hwan Kim and Hwan-Gue Cho

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 248, 33rd International Symposium on Algorithms and Computation (ISAAC 2022)

Abstract
In this paper, we present a novel indexing method for the order-isomorphic pattern matching problem (also known as order-preserving pattern matching, or consecutive permutation matching), in which two equal-length strings are defined to match when X[i] < X[j] iff Y[i] < Y[j] for 0 ≤ i,j < |X|. We observe an interesting relation between the order-isomorphic matching and the insertion process of a binary search tree, based on which we propose a data structure which not only has a concise structure comprised of only two wavelet trees but also provides a surprisingly simple searching algorithm. In the average case analysis, the proposed method requires 𝒪(R(T)) bits, and it is capable of answering a count query in 𝒪(R(P)) time, and reporting an occurrence in 𝒪(lg |T|) time, where T and P are the text and the pattern string, respectively; for a string X, R(X) is the total time taken for the construction of the binary search tree by successively inserting the keys X[|X|-1],⋯,X[0] at the root, and its expected value is 𝒪(|X|lgσ) where σ is the alphabet size. Furthermore, the proposed method can be viewed as a generalization of some other methods including several heuristics and restricted versions described in previous studies in the literature.

A Compact Index for Cartesian Tree Matching

Authors: Sung-Hwan Kim and Hwan-Gue Cho

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 191, 32nd Annual Symposium on Combinatorial Pattern Matching (CPM 2021)

Abstract
Cartesian tree matching is a recently introduced string matching problem in which two strings match if their corresponding Cartesian trees are the same. It is considered appropriate to find patterns regarding their shapes especially in numerical time series data. While many related problems have been addressed, developing a compact index has received relatively less attention. In this paper, we present a 3n+o(n)-bit index that can count the number of occurrences of a Cartesian tree pattern in 𝒪(m) time where n and m are the text and pattern length. To the best of our knowledge, this work is the first 𝒪(n)-bit compact data structure for indexing for this problem.

Indexing Isodirectional Pointer Sequences

Authors: Sung-Hwan Kim and Hwan-Gue Cho

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 181, 31st International Symposium on Algorithms and Computation (ISAAC 2020)

Abstract
Many sequential and temporal data have dependency relationships among their elements, which can be represented as a sequence of pointers. In this paper, we introduce a new string matching problem with a particular type of strings, which we call isodirectional pointer sequence, in which each entry has a pointer to another entry. The proposed problem is not only a formalization of real-world dependency matching problems, but also a generalization of variants of the string matching problem such as parameterized pattern matching and Cartesian tree matching. We present a 2nlgσ+2n+o(n)-bit index that preprocesses the text T[1:n] so as to count the number of occurrences of pattern P[1:m] in 𝒪(mlgσ) where σ is the number of distinct lengths of pointers in T. Our index is also easily implementable in practice because it consists of wavelet trees and range maximum query index, which are widely used building blocks in many other compact data structures. By compressing the wavelet trees, the index can also be stored into 2nH^*₀(T)+2n+o(n) bits where H^*₀(T) is the 0-th order empirical entropy of the distribution of pointer lengths of T.
