Approximate Circular Pattern Matching Under Edit Distance

Authors: Panagiotis Charalampopoulos, Solon P. Pissis, Jakub Radoszewski, Wojciech Rytter, Tomasz Waleń, and Wiktor Zuba

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 289, 41st International Symposium on Theoretical Aspects of Computer Science (STACS 2024)


Abstract
In the k-Edit Circular Pattern Matching (k-Edit CPM) problem, we are given a length-n text T, a length-m pattern P, and a positive integer threshold k, and we are to report all starting positions of the substrings of T that are at edit distance at most k from some cyclic rotation of P. In the decision version of the problem, we are to check if any such substring exists. Very recently, Charalampopoulos et al. [ESA 2022] presented 𝒪(nk²)-time and 𝒪(nk log³ k)-time solutions for the reporting and decision versions of k-Edit CPM, respectively. Here, we show that the reporting and decision versions of k-Edit CPM can be solved in 𝒪(n+(n/m) k⁶) time and 𝒪(n+(n/m) k⁵ log³ k) time, respectively, thus obtaining the first algorithms with a complexity of the type 𝒪(n+(n/m) poly(k)) for this problem. Notably, our algorithms run in 𝒪(n) time when m = Ω(k⁶) and are superior to the previous respective solutions when m = ω(k⁴). We provide a meta-algorithm that yields efficient algorithms in several other interesting settings, such as when the strings are given in a compressed form (as straight-line programs), when the strings are dynamic, or when we have a quantum computer. We obtain our solutions by exploiting the structure of approximate circular occurrences of P in T, when T is relatively short w.r.t. P. Roughly speaking, either the starting positions of approximate occurrences of rotations of P form 𝒪(k⁴) intervals that can be computed efficiently, or some rotation of P is almost periodic (is at a small edit distance from a string with small period). Dealing with the almost periodic case is the most technically demanding part of this work; we tackle it using properties of locked fragments (originating from [Cole and Hariharan, SICOMP 2002]).

Linear-Time Computation of Cyclic Roots and Cyclic Covers of a String

Authors: Costas S. Iliopoulos, Tomasz Kociumaka, Jakub Radoszewski, Wojciech Rytter, Tomasz Waleń, and Wiktor Zuba

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


Abstract
Cyclic versions of covers and roots of a string are considered in this paper. A prefix V of a string S is a cyclic root of S if S is a concatenation of cyclic rotations of V. A prefix V of S is a cyclic cover of S if the occurrences of the cyclic rotations of V cover all positions of S. We present 𝒪(n)-time algorithms computing all cyclic roots (using number-theoretic tools) and all cyclic covers (using tools related to seeds) of a length-n string over an integer alphabet. Our results improve upon 𝒪(n log log n) and 𝒪(n log n) time complexities of recent algorithms of Grossi et al. (WALCOM 2023) for the respective problems and provide novel approaches to the problems. As a by-product, we obtain an optimal data structure for Internal Circular Pattern Matching queries that generalize Internal Pattern Matching and Cyclic Equivalence queries of Kociumaka et al. (SODA 2015).

Approximate Circular Pattern Matching

Authors: Panagiotis Charalampopoulos, Tomasz Kociumaka, Jakub Radoszewski, Solon P. Pissis, Wojciech Rytter, Tomasz Waleń, and Wiktor Zuba

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 244, 30th Annual European Symposium on Algorithms (ESA 2022)


Abstract
We investigate the complexity of approximate circular pattern matching (CPM, in short) under the Hamming and edit distance. Under each of these two basic metrics, we are given a length-n text T, a length-m pattern P, and a positive integer threshold k, and we are to report all starting positions (called occurrences) of fragments of T that are at distance at most k from some cyclic rotation of P. In the decision version of the problem, we are to check if there is any such occurrence. All previous results for approximate CPM were either average-case upper bounds or heuristics, with the exception of the work of Charalampopoulos et al. [CKP^+, JCSS'21], who considered only the Hamming distance. For the reporting version of the approximate CPM problem, under the Hamming distance we improve upon the main algorithm of [CKP^+, JCSS'21] from 𝒪(n+(n/m) ⋅ k⁴) to 𝒪(n+(n/m) ⋅ k³ log log k) time; for the edit distance, we give an 𝒪(nk²)-time algorithm. Notably, for the decision versions and wide parameter-ranges, we give algorithms whose complexities are almost identical to the state-of-the-art for standard (i.e., non-circular) approximate pattern matching: - For the decision version of the approximate CPM problem under the Hamming distance, we obtain an 𝒪(n+(n/m) ⋅ k² log k / log log k)-time algorithm, which works in 𝒪(n) time whenever k = 𝒪(√{m log log m / log m}). In comparison, the fastest algorithm for the standard counterpart of the problem, by Chan et al. [CGKKP, STOC’20], runs in 𝒪(n) time only for k = 𝒪(√m). We achieve this result via a reduction to a geometric problem by building on ideas from [CKP^+, JCSS'21] and Charalampopoulos et al. [CKW, FOCS'20]. - For the decision version of the approximate CPM problem under the edit distance, the 𝒪(nklog³ k) runtime of our algorithm near matches the 𝒪(nk) runtime of the Landau-Vishkin algorithm [LV, J. Algorithms'89] for approximate pattern matching under edit distance; the latter algorithm remains the fastest known for k = Ω(m^{2/5}). As a stepping stone, we propose an 𝒪(nklog³ k)-time algorithm for solving the Longest Prefix k'-Approximate Match problem, proposed by Landau et al. [LMS, SICOMP'98], for all k' ∈ {1,…,k}. Our algorithm is based on Tiskin’s theory of seaweeds [Tiskin, Math. Comput. Sci.'08], with recent advancements (see Charalampopoulos et al. [CKW, FOCS'22]), and on exploiting the seaweeds' relation to Monge matrices. In contrast, we obtain a conditional lower bound that suggests a polynomial separation between approximate CPM under the Hamming distance over the binary alphabet and its non-circular counterpart. We also show that a strongly subquadratic-time algorithm for the decision version of approximate CPM under edit distance would refute the Strong Exponential Time Hypothesis.

Linear-Time Computation of Shortest Covers of All Rotations of a String

Authors: Maxime Crochemore, Costas S. Iliopoulos, Jakub Radoszewski, Wojciech Rytter, Juliusz Straszyński, Tomasz Waleń, and Wiktor Zuba

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 223, 33rd Annual Symposium on Combinatorial Pattern Matching (CPM 2022)


Abstract
We show that lengths of shortest covers of all rotations of a length-n string over an integer alphabet can be computed in 𝒪(n) time in the word-RAM model, thus improving an 𝒪(n log n)-time algorithm from Crochemore et al. (Theor. Comput. Sci., 2021). Similarly as Crochemore et al., we use a relation of covers of rotations of a string S to seeds and squares in S³. The crucial parameter of a string S is the number ξ(S) of primitive covers of all rotations of S. We show first that the time complexity of the algorithm from Crochemore et al. can be slightly improved which results in time complexity Θ(ξ(S)). However, we also show that in the worst case ξ(S) is Ω(|S|log |S|). This is the main difficulty in obtaining a linear time algorithm. We overcome it and obtain yet another application of runs in strings.

Rectangular Tile Covers of 2D-Strings

Authors: Jakub Radoszewski, Wojciech Rytter, Juliusz Straszyński, Tomasz Waleń, and Wiktor Zuba

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 223, 33rd Annual Symposium on Combinatorial Pattern Matching (CPM 2022)


Abstract
We consider tile covers of 2D-strings which are a generalization of periodicity of 1D-strings. We say that a 2D-string A is a tile cover of a 2D-string S if S can be decomposed into non-overlapping 2D-strings, each of them equal to A or to A^T, where A^T is the transpose of A. We show that all tile covers of a 2D-string of size N can be computed in 𝒪(N^{1+ε}) time for any ε > 0. We also show a linear-time algorithm for computing all 1D-strings being tile covers of a 2D-string.

Hardness of Detecting Abelian and Additive Square Factors in Strings

Authors: Jakub Radoszewski, Wojciech Rytter, Juliusz Straszyński, Tomasz Waleń, and Wiktor Zuba

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 204, 29th Annual European Symposium on Algorithms (ESA 2021)


Abstract
We prove 3SUM-hardness (no strongly subquadratic-time algorithm, assuming the 3SUM conjecture) of several problems related to finding Abelian square and additive square factors in a string. In particular, we conclude conditional optimality of the state-of-the-art algorithms for finding such factors. Overall, we show 3SUM-hardness of (a) detecting an Abelian square factor of an odd half-length, (b) computing centers of all Abelian square factors, (c) detecting an additive square factor in a length-n string of integers of magnitude n^{𝒪(1)}, and (d) a problem of computing a double 3-term arithmetic progression (i.e., finding indices i ≠ j such that (x_i+x_j)/2 = x_{(i+j)/2}) in a sequence of integers x₁,… ,x_n of magnitude n^{𝒪(1)}. Problem (d) is essentially a convolution version of the AVERAGE problem that was proposed in a manuscript of Erickson. We obtain a conditional lower bound for it with the aid of techniques recently developed by Dudek et al. [STOC 2020]. Problem (d) immediately reduces to problem (c) and is a step in reductions to problems (a) and (b). In conditional lower bounds for problems (a) and (b) we apply an encoding of Amir et al. [ICALP 2014] and extend it using several string gadgets that include arbitrarily long Abelian-square-free strings. Our reductions also imply conditional lower bounds for detecting Abelian squares in strings over a constant-sized alphabet. We also show a subquadratic upper bound in this case, applying a result of Chan and Lewenstein [STOC 2015].

Computing Covers of 2D-Strings

Authors: Panagiotis Charalampopoulos, Jakub Radoszewski, Wojciech Rytter, Tomasz Waleń, and Wiktor Zuba

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


Abstract
We consider two notions of covers of a two-dimensional string T. A (rectangular) subarray P of T is a 2D-cover of T if each position of T is in an occurrence of P in T. A one-dimensional string S is a 1D-cover of T if its vertical and horizontal occurrences in T cover all positions of T. We show how to compute the smallest-area 2D-cover of an m × n array T in the optimal 𝒪(N) time, where N = mn, all aperiodic 2D-covers of T in 𝒪(N log N) time, and all 2D-covers of T in N^{4/3}⋅ log^{𝒪(1)}N time. Further, we show how to compute all 1D-covers in the optimal 𝒪(N) time. Along the way, we show that the Klee’s measure of a set of rectangles, each of width and height at least √n, on an n × n grid can be maintained in √n⋅ log^{𝒪(1)}n time per insertion or deletion of a rectangle, a result which could be of independent interest.

The Number of Repetitions in 2D-Strings

Authors: Panagiotis Charalampopoulos, Jakub Radoszewski, Wojciech Rytter, Tomasz Waleń, and Wiktor Zuba

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 173, 28th Annual European Symposium on Algorithms (ESA 2020)


Abstract
The notions of periodicity and repetitions in strings, and hence these of runs and squares, naturally extend to two-dimensional strings. We consider two types of repetitions in 2D-strings: 2D-runs and quartics (quartics are a 2D-version of squares in standard strings). Amir et al. introduced 2D-runs, showed that there are 𝒪(n³) of them in an n × n 2D-string and presented a simple construction giving a lower bound of Ω(n²) for their number (Theoretical Computer Science, 2020). We make a significant step towards closing the gap between these bounds by showing that the number of 2D-runs in an n × n 2D-string is 𝒪(n² log² n). In particular, our bound implies that the 𝒪(n²log n + output) run-time of the algorithm of Amir et al. for computing 2D-runs is also 𝒪(n² log² n). We expect this result to allow for exploiting 2D-runs algorithmically in the area of 2D pattern matching. A quartic is a 2D-string composed of 2 × 2 identical blocks (2D-strings) that was introduced by Apostolico and Brimkov (Theoretical Computer Science, 2000), where by quartics they meant only primitively rooted quartics, i.e. built of a primitive block. Here our notion of quartics is more general and analogous to that of squares in 1D-strings. Apostolico and Brimkov showed that there are 𝒪(n² log² n) occurrences of primitively rooted quartics in an n × n 2D-string and that this bound is attainable. Consequently the number of distinct primitively rooted quartics is 𝒪(n² log² n). The straightforward bound for the maximal number of distinct general quartics is 𝒪(n⁴). Here, we prove that the number of distinct general quartics is also 𝒪(n² log² n). This extends the rich combinatorial study of the number of distinct squares in a 1D-string, that was initiated by Fraenkel and Simpson (Journal of Combinatorial Theory, Series A, 1998), to two dimensions. Finally, we show some algorithmic applications of 2D-runs. Specifically, we present algorithms for computing all occurrences of primitively rooted quartics and counting all general distinct quartics in 𝒪(n² log² n) time, which is quasi-linear with respect to the size of the input. The former algorithm is optimal due to the lower bound of Apostolico and Brimkov. The latter can be seen as a continuation of works on enumeration of distinct squares in 1D-strings using runs (Crochemore et al., Theoretical Computer Science, 2014). However, the methods used in 2D are different because of different properties of 2D-runs and quartics.

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 161, 31st Annual Symposium on Combinatorial Pattern Matching (CPM 2020)


Abstract
We consider the problem of preprocessing a text T of length n and a dictionary 𝒟 in order to be able to efficiently answer queries CountDistinct(i,j), that is, given i and j return the number of patterns from 𝒟 that occur in the fragment T[i..j]. The dictionary is internal in the sense that each pattern in 𝒟 is given as a fragment of T. This way, the dictionary takes space proportional to the number of patterns d=|𝒟| rather than their total length, which could be Θ(n⋅ d). An 𝒪̃(n+d)-size data structure that answers CountDistinct(i,j) queries 𝒪(log n)-approximately in 𝒪̃(1) time was recently proposed in a work that introduced internal dictionary matching [ISAAC 2019]. Here we present an 𝒪̃(n+d)-size data structure that answers CountDistinct(i,j) queries 2-approximately in 𝒪̃(1) time. Using range queries, for any m, we give an 𝒪̃(min(nd/m,n²/m²)+d)-size data structure that answers CountDistinct(i,j) queries exactly in 𝒪̃(m) time. We also consider the special case when the dictionary consists of all square factors of the string. We design an 𝒪(n log² n)-size data structure that allows us to count distinct squares in a text fragment T[i..j] in 𝒪(log n) time.

Unary Words Have the Smallest Levenshtein k-Neighbourhoods

Authors: Panagiotis Charalampopoulos, Solon P. Pissis, Jakub Radoszewski, Tomasz Waleń, and Wiktor Zuba

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 161, 31st Annual Symposium on Combinatorial Pattern Matching (CPM 2020)


Abstract
The edit distance (a.k.a. the Levenshtein distance) between two words is defined as the minimum number of insertions, deletions or substitutions of letters needed to transform one word into another. The Levenshtein k-neighbourhood of a word w is the set of words that are at edit distance at most k from w. This is perhaps the most important concept underlying BLAST, a widely-used tool for comparing biological sequences. A natural combinatorial question is to ask for upper and lower bounds on the size of this set. The answer to this question has important algorithmic implications as well. Myers notes that "such bounds would give a tighter characterisation of the running time of the algorithm" behind BLAST. We show that the size of the Levenshtein k-neighbourhood of any word of length n over an arbitrary alphabet is not smaller than the size of the Levenshtein k-neighbourhood of a unary word of length n, thus providing a tight lower bound on the size of the Levenshtein k-neighbourhood. We remark that this result was posed as a conjecture by Dufresne at WCTA 2019.

Internal Dictionary Matching

Authors: Panagiotis Charalampopoulos, Tomasz Kociumaka, Manal Mohamed, Jakub Radoszewski, Wojciech Rytter, and Tomasz Waleń

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 149, 30th International Symposium on Algorithms and Computation (ISAAC 2019)


Abstract
We introduce data structures answering queries concerning the occurrences of patterns from a given dictionary D in fragments of a given string T of length n. The dictionary is internal in the sense that each pattern in D is given as a fragment of T. This way, D takes space proportional to the number of patterns d=|D| rather than their total length, which could be Theta(n * d). In particular, we consider the following types of queries: reporting and counting all occurrences of patterns from D in a fragment T[i..j] (operations Report(i,j) and Count(i,j) below, as well as operation Exists(i,j) that returns true iff Count(i,j)>0) and reporting distinct patterns from D that occur in T[i..j] (operation ReportDistinct(i,j)). We show how to construct, in O((n+d) log^{O(1)} n) time, a data structure that answers each of these queries in time O(log^{O(1)} n+|output|) - see the table below for specific time and space complexities. Query | Preprocessing time | Space | Query time Exists(i,j) | O(n+d) | O(n) | O(1) Report(i,j) | O(n+d) | O(n+d) | O(1+|output|) ReportDistinct(i,j) | O(n log n+d) | O(n+d) | O(log n+|output|) Count(i,j) | O({n log n}/{log log n} + d log^{3/2} n) | O(n+d log n) | O({log^2n}/{log log n}) The case of counting patterns is much more involved and needs a combination of a locally consistent parsing with orthogonal range searching. Reporting distinct patterns, on the other hand, uses the structure of maximal repetitions in strings. Finally, we provide tight - up to subpolynomial factors - upper and lower bounds for the case of a dynamic dictionary.

Quasi-Linear-Time Algorithm for Longest Common Circular Factor

Authors: Mai Alzamel, Maxime Crochemore, Costas S. Iliopoulos, Tomasz Kociumaka, Jakub Radoszewski, Wojciech Rytter, Juliusz Straszyński, Tomasz Waleń, and Wiktor Zuba

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


Abstract
We introduce the Longest Common Circular Factor (LCCF) problem in which, given strings S and T of length at most n, we are to compute the longest factor of S whose cyclic shift occurs as a factor of T. It is a new similarity measure, an extension of the classic Longest Common Factor. We show how to solve the LCCF problem in O(n log^4 n) time using O(n log^2 n) space.

Linear-Time Algorithm for Long LCF with k Mismatches

Authors: Panagiotis Charalampopoulos, Maxime Crochemore, Costas S. Iliopoulos, Tomasz Kociumaka, Solon P. Pissis, Jakub Radoszewski, Wojciech Rytter, and Tomasz Walen

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 105, 29th Annual Symposium on Combinatorial Pattern Matching (CPM 2018)


Abstract
In the Longest Common Factor with k Mismatches (LCF_k) problem, we are given two strings X and Y of total length n, and we are asked to find a pair of maximal-length factors, one of X and the other of Y, such that their Hamming distance is at most k. Thankachan et al. [Thankachan et al. 2016] show that this problem can be solved in O(n log^k n) time and O(n) space for constant k. We consider the LCF_k(l) problem in which we assume that the sought factors have length at least l. We use difference covers to reduce the LCF_k(l) problem with l=Omega(log^{2k+2}n) to a task involving m=O(n/log^{k+1}n) synchronized factors. The latter can be solved in O(m log^{k+1}m) time, which results in a linear-time algorithm for LCF_k(l) with l=Omega(log^{2k+2}n). In general, our solution to the LCF_k(l) problem for arbitrary l takes O(n + n log^{k+1} n/sqrt{l}) time.

String Periods in the Order-Preserving Model

Authors: Garance Gourdel, Tomasz Kociumaka, Jakub Radoszewski, Wojciech Rytter, Arseny Shur, and Tomasz Walen

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 96, 35th Symposium on Theoretical Aspects of Computer Science (STACS 2018)


Abstract
The order-preserving model (op-model, in short) was introduced quite recently but has already attracted significant attention because of its applications in data analysis. We introduce several types of periods in this setting (op-periods). Then we give algorithms to compute these periods in time O(n), O(n log log n), O(n log^2 log n/log log log n), O(n log n) depending on the type of periodicity. In the most general variant the number of different periods can be as big as Omega(n^2), and a compact representation is needed. Our algorithms require novel combinatorial insight into the properties of such periods.

Faster Longest Common Extension Queries in Strings over General Alphabets

Authors: Pawel Gawrychowski, Tomasz Kociumaka, Wojciech Rytter, and Tomasz Walen

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 54, 27th Annual Symposium on Combinatorial Pattern Matching (CPM 2016)


Abstract
Longest common extension queries (often called longest common prefix queries) constitute a fundamental building block in multiple string algorithms, for example computing runs and approximate pattern matching. We show that a sequence of q LCE queries for a string of size n over a general ordered alphabet can be realized in O(q log log n + n log* n) time making only O(q + n) symbol comparisons. Consequently, all runs in a string over a general ordered alphabets can be computed in O(n log log n) time making O(n) symbol comparisons. Our results improve upon a solution by Kosolobov (Information Processing Letters, 2016), who designed an algorithm with O(n log^⅔ n) running time and conjectured that O(n) time is possible. Our paper makes a significant progress towards resolving this conjecture. Our techniques extend to the case of general unordered alphabets, when the time increases to O(q log n + n log* n). The main tools are difference covers and a variant of the disjoint-sets data structure by La Poutré (SODA 1990).

Improved Algorithms for the Range Next Value Problem and Applications

Authors: Costas S. Iliopoulos, Maxime Crochemore, Marcin Kubica, M. Sohel Rahman, and Tomasz Walen

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 1, 25th International Symposium on Theoretical Aspects of Computer Science (2008)


Abstract
The Range Next Value problem (Problem RNV) is a recent interesting variant of the range search problems, where the query is for the immediate next (or equal) value of a given number within a given interval of an array. Problem RNV was introduced and studied very recently by Crochemore et. al [Finding Patterns In Given Intervals, MFCS 2007]. In this paper, we present improved algorithms for Problem RNV. We also show how this problem can be used to achieve optimal query time for a number of interesting variants of the classic pattern matching problems.

Approximate Circular Pattern Matching Under Edit Distance

Authors: Panagiotis Charalampopoulos, Solon P. Pissis, Jakub Radoszewski, Wojciech Rytter, Tomasz Waleń, and Wiktor Zuba

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 289, 41st International Symposium on Theoretical Aspects of Computer Science (STACS 2024)


Abstract
In the k-Edit Circular Pattern Matching (k-Edit CPM) problem, we are given a length-n text T, a length-m pattern P, and a positive integer threshold k, and we are to report all starting positions of the substrings of T that are at edit distance at most k from some cyclic rotation of P. In the decision version of the problem, we are to check if any such substring exists. Very recently, Charalampopoulos et al. [ESA 2022] presented 𝒪(nk²)-time and 𝒪(nk log³ k)-time solutions for the reporting and decision versions of k-Edit CPM, respectively. Here, we show that the reporting and decision versions of k-Edit CPM can be solved in 𝒪(n+(n/m) k⁶) time and 𝒪(n+(n/m) k⁵ log³ k) time, respectively, thus obtaining the first algorithms with a complexity of the type 𝒪(n+(n/m) poly(k)) for this problem. Notably, our algorithms run in 𝒪(n) time when m = Ω(k⁶) and are superior to the previous respective solutions when m = ω(k⁴). We provide a meta-algorithm that yields efficient algorithms in several other interesting settings, such as when the strings are given in a compressed form (as straight-line programs), when the strings are dynamic, or when we have a quantum computer. We obtain our solutions by exploiting the structure of approximate circular occurrences of P in T, when T is relatively short w.r.t. P. Roughly speaking, either the starting positions of approximate occurrences of rotations of P form 𝒪(k⁴) intervals that can be computed efficiently, or some rotation of P is almost periodic (is at a small edit distance from a string with small period). Dealing with the almost periodic case is the most technically demanding part of this work; we tackle it using properties of locked fragments (originating from [Cole and Hariharan, SICOMP 2002]).

Linear-Time Computation of Cyclic Roots and Cyclic Covers of a String

Authors: Costas S. Iliopoulos, Tomasz Kociumaka, Jakub Radoszewski, Wojciech Rytter, Tomasz Waleń, and Wiktor Zuba

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


Abstract
Cyclic versions of covers and roots of a string are considered in this paper. A prefix V of a string S is a cyclic root of S if S is a concatenation of cyclic rotations of V. A prefix V of S is a cyclic cover of S if the occurrences of the cyclic rotations of V cover all positions of S. We present 𝒪(n)-time algorithms computing all cyclic roots (using number-theoretic tools) and all cyclic covers (using tools related to seeds) of a length-n string over an integer alphabet. Our results improve upon 𝒪(n log log n) and 𝒪(n log n) time complexities of recent algorithms of Grossi et al. (WALCOM 2023) for the respective problems and provide novel approaches to the problems. As a by-product, we obtain an optimal data structure for Internal Circular Pattern Matching queries that generalize Internal Pattern Matching and Cyclic Equivalence queries of Kociumaka et al.

Approximate Circular Pattern Matching

Authors: Panagiotis Charalampopoulos, Tomasz Kociumaka, Jakub Radoszewski, Solon P. Pissis, Wojciech Rytter, Tomasz Waleń, and Wiktor Zuba

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 244, 30th Annual European Symposium on Algorithms (ESA 2022)


Abstract
We investigate the complexity of approximate circular pattern matching (CPM, in short) under the Hamming and edit distance. Under each of these two basic metrics, we are given a length-n text T, a length-m pattern P, and a positive integer threshold k, and we are to report all starting positions (called occurrences) of fragments of T that are at distance at most k from some cyclic rotation of P. In the decision version of the problem, we are to check if there is any such occurrence. All previous results for approximate CPM were either average-case upper bounds or heuristics, with the exception of the work of Charalampopoulos et al. [CKP^+, JCSS'21], who considered only the Hamming distance. For the reporting version of the approximate CPM problem, under the Hamming distance we improve upon the main algorithm of [CKP^+, JCSS'21] from 𝒪(n+(n/m) ⋅ k⁴) to 𝒪(n+(n/m) ⋅ k³ log log k) time; for the edit distance, we give an 𝒪(nk²)-time algorithm. Notably, for the decision versions and wide parameter-ranges, we give algorithms whose complexities are almost identical to the state-of-the-art for standard (i.e., non-circular) approximate pattern matching: - For the decision version of the approximate CPM problem under the Hamming distance, we obtain an 𝒪(n+(n/m) ⋅ k² log k / log log k)-time algorithm, which works in 𝒪(n) time whenever k = 𝒪(√{m log log m / log m}). In comparison, the fastest algorithm for the standard counterpart of the problem, by Chan et al. [CGKKP, STOC’20], runs in 𝒪(n) time only for k = 𝒪(√m). We achieve this result via a reduction to a geometric problem by building on ideas from [CKP^+, JCSS'21] and Charalampopoulos et al. [CKW, FOCS'20]. - For the decision version of the approximate CPM problem under the edit distance, the 𝒪(nklog³ k) runtime of our algorithm near matches the 𝒪(nk) runtime of the Landau-Vishkin algorithm [LV, J. Algorithms'89] for approximate pattern matching under edit distance; the latter algorithm remains the fastest known for k = Ω(m^{2/5}). As a stepping stone, we propose an 𝒪(nklog³ k)-time algorithm for solving the Longest Prefix k'-Approximate Match problem, proposed by Landau et al. [LMS, SICOMP'98], for all k' ∈ {1,…,k}. Our algorithm is based on Tiskin’s theory of seaweeds [Tiskin, Math. Comput. Sci.'08], with recent advancements (see Charalampopoulos et al. [CKW, FOCS'22]), and on exploiting the seaweeds' relation to Monge matrices. In contrast, we obtain a conditional lower bound that suggests a polynomial separation between approximate CPM under the Hamming distance over the binary alphabet and its non-circular counterpart. We also show that a strongly subquadratic-time algorithm for the decision version of approximate CPM under edit distance would refute the Strong Exponential Time Hypothesis.

Linear-Time Computation of Shortest Covers of All Rotations of a String

Authors: Maxime Crochemore, Costas S. Iliopoulos, Jakub Radoszewski, Wojciech Rytter, Juliusz Straszyński, Tomasz Waleń, and Wiktor Zuba

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 223, 33rd Annual Symposium on Combinatorial Pattern Matching (CPM 2022)


Abstract
We show that lengths of shortest covers of all rotations of a length-n string over an integer alphabet can be computed in 𝒪(n) time in the word-RAM model, thus improving an 𝒪(n log n)-time algorithm from Crochemore et al. (Theor. Comput. Sci., 2021). Similarly as Crochemore et al., we use a relation of covers of rotations of a string S to seeds and squares in S³. The crucial parameter of a string S is the number ξ(S) of primitive covers of all rotations of S. We show first that the time complexity of the algorithm from Crochemore et al. can be slightly improved which results in time complexity Θ(ξ(S)). However, we also show that in the worst case ξ(S) is Ω(|S|log |S|). This is the main difficulty in obtaining a linear time algorithm. We overcome it and obtain yet another application of runs in strings.

Rectangular Tile Covers of 2D-Strings

Authors: Jakub Radoszewski, Wojciech Rytter, Juliusz Straszyński, Tomasz Waleń, and Wiktor Zuba

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 223, 33rd Annual Symposium on Combinatorial Pattern Matching (CPM 2022)


Abstract
We consider tile covers of 2D-strings which are a generalization of periodicity of 1D-strings. We say that a 2D-string A is a tile cover of a 2D-string S if S can be decomposed into non-overlapping 2D-strings, each of them equal to A or to A^T, where A^T is the transpose of A. We show that all tile covers of a 2D-string of size N can be computed in 𝒪(N^{1+ε}) time for any ε > 0. We also show a linear-time algorithm for computing all 1D-strings being tile covers of a 2D-string.

Hardness of Detecting Abelian and Additive Square Factors in Strings

Authors: Jakub Radoszewski, Wojciech Rytter, Juliusz Straszyński, Tomasz Waleń, and Wiktor Zuba

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 204, 29th Annual European Symposium on Algorithms (ESA 2021)


Abstract
We prove 3SUM-hardness (no strongly subquadratic-time algorithm, assuming the 3SUM conjecture) of several problems related to finding Abelian square and additive square factors in a string. In particular, we conclude conditional optimality of the state-of-the-art algorithms for finding such factors. Overall, we show 3SUM-hardness of (a) detecting an Abelian square factor of an odd half-length, (b) computing centers of all Abelian square factors, (c) detecting an additive square factor in a length-n string of integers of magnitude n^{𝒪(1)}, and (d) a problem of computing a double 3-term arithmetic progression (i.e., finding indices i ≠ j such that (x_i+x_j)/2 = x_{(i+j)/2}) in a sequence of integers x₁,… ,x_n of magnitude n^{𝒪(1)}. Problem (d) is essentially a convolution version of the AVERAGE problem that was proposed in a manuscript of Erickson. We obtain a conditional lower bound for it with the aid of techniques recently developed by Dudek et al. [STOC 2020]. Problem (d) immediately reduces to problem (c) and is a step in reductions to problems (a) and (b). In conditional lower bounds for problems (a) and (b) we apply an encoding of Amir et al. [ICALP 2014] and extend it using several string gadgets that include arbitrarily long Abelian-square-free strings. Our reductions also imply conditional lower bounds for detecting Abelian squares in strings over a constant-sized alphabet. We also show a subquadratic upper bound in this case, applying a result of Chan and Lewenstein [STOC 2015].

Computing Covers of 2D-Strings

Authors: Panagiotis Charalampopoulos, Jakub Radoszewski, Wojciech Rytter, Tomasz Waleń, and Wiktor Zuba

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


Abstract
We consider two notions of covers of a two-dimensional string T. A (rectangular) subarray P of T is a 2D-cover of T if each position of T is in an occurrence of P in T. A one-dimensional string S is a 1D-cover of T if its vertical and horizontal occurrences in T cover all positions of T. We show how to compute the smallest-area 2D-cover of an m × n array T in the optimal 𝒪(N) time, where N = mn, all aperiodic 2D-covers of T in 𝒪(N log N) time, and all 2D-covers of T in N^{4/3}⋅ log^{𝒪(1)}N time. Further, we show how to compute all 1D-covers in the optimal 𝒪(N) time. Along the way, we show that the Klee’s measure of a set of rectangles, each of width and height at least √n, on an n × n grid can be maintained in √n⋅ log^{𝒪(1)}n time per insertion or deletion of a rectangle, a result which could be of independent interest.

The Number of Repetitions in 2D-Strings

Authors: Panagiotis Charalampopoulos, Jakub Radoszewski, Wojciech Rytter, Tomasz Waleń, and Wiktor Zuba

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 173, 28th Annual European Symposium on Algorithms (ESA 2020)


Abstract
The notions of periodicity and repetitions in strings, and hence these of runs and squares, naturally extend to two-dimensional strings. We consider two types of repetitions in 2D-strings: 2D-runs and quartics (quartics are a 2D-version of squares in standard strings). Amir et al. introduced 2D-runs, showed that there are 𝒪(n³) of them in an n × n 2D-string and presented a simple construction giving a lower bound of Ω(n²) for their number (Theoretical Computer Science, 2020). We make a significant step towards closing the gap between these bounds by showing that the number of 2D-runs in an n × n 2D-string is 𝒪(n² log² n). In particular, our bound implies that the 𝒪(n²log n + output) run-time of the algorithm of Amir et al. for computing 2D-runs is also 𝒪(n² log² n). We expect this result to allow for exploiting 2D-runs algorithmically in the area of 2D pattern matching. A quartic is a 2D-string composed of 2 × 2 identical blocks (2D-strings) that was introduced by Apostolico and Brimkov (Theoretical Computer Science, 2000), where by quartics they meant only primitively rooted quartics, i.e. built of a primitive block. Here our notion of quartics is more general and analogous to that of squares in 1D-strings. Apostolico and Brimkov showed that there are 𝒪(n² log² n) occurrences of primitively rooted quartics in an n × n 2D-string and that this bound is attainable. Consequently the number of distinct primitively rooted quartics is 𝒪(n² log² n). The straightforward bound for the maximal number of distinct general quartics is 𝒪(n⁴). Here, we prove that the number of distinct general quartics is also 𝒪(n² log² n). This extends the rich combinatorial study of the number of distinct squares in a 1D-string, that was initiated by Fraenkel and Simpson (Journal of Combinatorial Theory, Series A, 1998), to two dimensions. Finally, we show some algorithmic applications of 2D-runs. Specifically, we present algorithms for computing all occurrences of primitively rooted quartics and counting all general distinct quartics in 𝒪(n² log² n) time, which is quasi-linear with respect to the size of the input. The former algorithm is optimal due to the lower bound of Apostolico and Brimkov. The latter can be seen as a continuation of works on enumeration of distinct squares in 1D-strings using runs (Crochemore et al., Theoretical Computer Science, 2014). However, the methods used in 2D are different because of different properties of 2D-runs and quartics.

Counting Distinct Patterns in Internal Dictionary Matching

Authors: Panagiotis Charalampopoulos, Tomasz Kociumaka, Manal Mohamed, Jakub Radoszewski, Wojciech Rytter, Juliusz Straszyński, Tomasz Waleń, and Wiktor Zuba

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 161, 31st Annual Symposium on Combinatorial Pattern Matching (CPM 2020)


Abstract
We consider the problem of preprocessing a text T of length n and a dictionary 𝒟 in order to be able to efficiently answer queries CountDistinct(i,j), that is, given i and j return the number of patterns from 𝒟 that occur in the fragment T[i..j]. The dictionary is internal in the sense that each pattern in 𝒟 is given as a fragment of T. This way, the dictionary takes space proportional to the number of patterns d=|𝒟| rather than their total length, which could be Θ(n⋅ d). An 𝒪̃(n+d)-size data structure that answers CountDistinct(i,j) queries 𝒪(log n)-approximately in 𝒪̃(1) time was recently proposed in a work that introduced internal dictionary matching [ISAAC 2019]. Here we present an 𝒪̃(n+d)-size data structure that answers CountDistinct(i,j) queries 2-approximately in 𝒪̃(1) time. Using range queries, for any m, we give an 𝒪̃(min(nd/m,n²/m²)+d)-size data structure that answers CountDistinct(i,j) queries exactly in 𝒪̃(m) time. We also consider the special case when the dictionary consists of all square factors of the string. We design an 𝒪(n log² n)-size data structure that allows us to count distinct squares in a text fragment T[i..j] in 𝒪(log n) time.

Unary Words Have the Smallest Levenshtein k-Neighbourhoods

Authors: Panagiotis Charalampopoulos, Solon P. Pissis, Jakub Radoszewski, Tomasz Waleń, and Wiktor Zuba

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 161, 31st Annual Symposium on Combinatorial Pattern Matching (CPM 2020)


Abstract
The edit distance (a.k.a. the Levenshtein distance) between two words is defined as the minimum number of insertions, deletions or substitutions of letters needed to transform one word into another. The Levenshtein k-neighbourhood of a word w is the set of words that are at edit distance at most k from w. This is perhaps the most important concept underlying BLAST, a widely-used tool for comparing biological sequences. A natural combinatorial question is to ask for upper and lower bounds on the size of this set. The answer to this question has important algorithmic implications as well. Myers notes that "such bounds would give a tighter characterisation of the running time of the algorithm" behind BLAST. We show that the size of the Levenshtein k-neighbourhood of any word of length n over an arbitrary alphabet is not smaller than the size of the Levenshtein k-neighbourhood of a unary word of length n, thus providing a tight lower bound on the size of the Levenshtein k-neighbourhood. We remark that this result was posed as a conjecture by Dufresne at WCTA 2019.

Internal Dictionary Matching

Authors: Panagiotis Charalampopoulos, Tomasz Kociumaka, Manal Mohamed, Jakub Radoszewski, Wojciech Rytter, and Tomasz Waleń

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 149, 30th International Symposium on Algorithms and Computation (ISAAC 2019)


Abstract
We introduce data structures answering queries concerning the occurrences of patterns from a given dictionary D in fragments of a given string T of length n. The dictionary is internal in the sense that each pattern in D is given as a fragment of T. This way, D takes space proportional to the number of patterns d=|D| rather than their total length, which could be Theta(n * d). In particular, we consider the following types of queries: reporting and counting all occurrences of patterns from D in a fragment T[i..j] (operations Report(i,j) and Count(i,j) below, as well as operation Exists(i,j) that returns true iff Count(i,j)>0) and reporting distinct patterns from D that occur in T[i..j] (operation ReportDistinct(i,j)). We show how to construct, in O((n+d) log^{O(1)} n) time, a data structure that answers each of these queries in time O(log^{O(1)} n+|output|) - see the table below for specific time and space complexities. Query | Preprocessing time | Space | Query time Exists(i,j) | O(n+d) | O(n) | O(1) Report(i,j) | O(n+d) | O(n+d) | O(1+|output|) ReportDistinct(i,j) | O(n log n+d) | O(n+d) | O(log n+|output|) Count(i,j) | O({n log n}/{log log n} + d log^{3/2} n) | O(n+d log n) | O({log^2n}/{log log n}) The case of counting patterns is much more involved and needs a combination of a locally consistent parsing with orthogonal range searching. Reporting distinct patterns, on the other hand, uses the structure of maximal repetitions in strings. Finally, we provide tight - up to subpolynomial factors - upper and lower bounds for the case of a dynamic dictionary.

Quasi-Linear-Time Algorithm for Longest Common Circular Factor

Authors: Mai Alzamel, Maxime Crochemore, Costas S. Iliopoulos, Tomasz Kociumaka, Jakub Radoszewski, Wojciech Rytter, Juliusz Straszyński, Tomasz Waleń, and Wiktor Zuba

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


Abstract
We introduce the Longest Common Circular Factor (LCCF) problem in which, given strings S and T of length at most n, we are to compute the longest factor of S whose cyclic shift occurs as a factor of T. It is a new similarity measure, an extension of the classic Longest Common Factor. We show how to solve the LCCF problem in O(n log^4 n) time using O(n log^2 n) space.

Linear-Time Algorithm for Long LCF with k Mismatches

Authors: Panagiotis Charalampopoulos, Maxime Crochemore, Costas S. Iliopoulos, Tomasz Kociumaka, Solon P. Pissis, Jakub Radoszewski, Wojciech Rytter, and Tomasz Walen

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 105, 29th Annual Symposium on Combinatorial Pattern Matching (CPM 2018)


Abstract
In the Longest Common Factor with k Mismatches (LCF_k) problem, we are given two strings X and Y of total length n, and we are asked to find a pair of maximal-length factors, one of X and the other of Y, such that their Hamming distance is at most k. Thankachan et al. [Thankachan et al. 2016] show that this problem can be solved in O(n log^k n) time and O(n) space for constant k. We consider the LCF_k(l) problem in which we assume that the sought factors have length at least l. We use difference covers to reduce the LCF_k(l) problem with l=Omega(log^{2k+2}n) to a task involving m=O(n/log^{k+1}n) synchronized factors. The latter can be solved in O(m log^{k+1}m) time, which results in a linear-time algorithm for LCF_k(l) with l=Omega(log^{2k+2}n). In general, our solution to the LCF_k(l) problem for arbitrary l takes O(n + n log^{k+1} n/sqrt{l}) time.

String Periods in the Order-Preserving Model

Authors: Garance Gourdel, Tomasz Kociumaka, Jakub Radoszewski, Wojciech Rytter, Arseny Shur, and Tomasz Walen

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 96, 35th Symposium on Theoretical Aspects of Computer Science (STACS 2018)


Abstract
The order-preserving model (op-model, in short) was introduced quite recently but has already attracted significant attention because of its applications in data analysis. We introduce several types of periods in this setting (op-periods). Then we give algorithms to compute these periods in time O(n), O(n log log n), O(n log^2 log n/log log log n), O(n log n) depending on the type of periodicity. In the most general variant the number of different periods can be as big as Omega(n^2), and a compact representation is needed. Our algorithms require novel combinatorial insight into the properties of such periods.

Faster Longest Common Extension Queries in Strings over General Alphabets

Authors: Pawel Gawrychowski, Tomasz Kociumaka, Wojciech Rytter, and Tomasz Walen

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 54, 27th Annual Symposium on Combinatorial Pattern Matching (CPM 2016)


Abstract
Longest common extension queries (often called longest common prefix queries) constitute a fundamental building block in multiple string algorithms, for example computing runs and approximate pattern matching. We show that a sequence of q LCE queries for a string of size n over a general ordered alphabet can be realized in O(q log log n + n log* n) time making only O(q + n) symbol comparisons. Consequently, all runs in a string over a general ordered alphabets can be computed in O(n log log n) time making O(n) symbol comparisons. Our results improve upon a solution by Kosolobov (Information Processing Letters, 2016), who designed an algorithm with O(n log^⅔ n) running time and conjectured that O(n) time is possible. Our paper makes a significant progress towards resolving this conjecture. Our techniques extend to the case of general unordered alphabets, when the time increases to O(q log n + n log* n). The main tools are difference covers and a variant of the disjoint-sets data structure by La Poutré (SODA 1990).

Improved Algorithms for the Range Next Value Problem and Applications

Authors: Costas S. Iliopoulos, Maxime Crochemore, Marcin Kubica, M. Sohel Rahman, and Tomasz Walen

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 1, 25th International Symposium on Theoretical Aspects of Computer Science (2008)


Abstract
The Range Next Value problem (Problem RNV) is a recent interesting variant of the range search problems, where the query is for the immediate next (or equal) value of a given number within a given interval of an array. Problem RNV was introduced and studied very recently by Crochemore et. al [Finding Patterns In Given Intervals, MFCS 2007]. In this paper, we present improved algorithms for Problem RNV. We also show how this problem can be used to achieve optimal query time for a number of interesting variants of the classic pattern matching problems.
