Dichotomic Selection on Words: A Probabilistic Analysis

Authors: Ali Akhavi, Julien Clément, Dimitri Darthenay, Loïck Lhote, and Brigitte Vallée

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 128, 30th Annual Symposium on Combinatorial Pattern Matching (CPM 2019)

Abstract

The paper studies the behaviour of selection algorithms that are based on dichotomy principles. On the entry formed by an ordered list L and a searched element x not in L, they return the interval of the list L the element x belongs to. We focus here on the case of words, where dichotomy principles lead to a selection algorithm designed by Crochemore, Hancart and Lecroq, which appears to be "quasi-optimal". We perform a probabilistic analysis of this algorithm that exhibits its quasi-optimality on average.
