Approximate Cartesian Tree Matching with Substitutions

Authors: Panagiotis Charalampopoulos, Jonas Ellert, and Manal Mohamed

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 364, 43rd International Symposium on Theoretical Aspects of Computer Science (STACS 2026)

Abstract
The Cartesian tree of a sequence captures the relative order of the sequence’s elements. In recent years, Cartesian tree matching has attracted considerable attention, particularly due to its applications in time series analysis. Consider a text T of length n and a pattern P of length m. In the exact Cartesian tree matching problem, the task is to find all length-m fragments of T whose Cartesian tree coincides with the Cartesian tree CT(P) of the pattern. Although the exact version of the problem can be solved in linear time [Park et al., TCS 2020], it remains rather restrictive; for example, it is not robust to outliers in the pattern. To overcome this limitation, we consider the approximate setting, where the goal is to identify all fragments of T that are close to some string whose Cartesian tree matches CT(P). In this work, we quantify closeness via the widely used Hamming distance metric. For a given integer parameter k > 0, we present an algorithm that computes all fragments of T that are at Hamming distance at most k from a string whose Cartesian tree matches CT(P). Our algorithm runs in time 𝒪(n √m ⋅ k^{2.5}) for k ≤ m^{1/5} and in time 𝒪(nk⁵) for k ≥ m^{1/5}, thereby improving upon the state-of-the-art 𝒪(nmk)-time algorithm of Kim and Han [TCS 2025] in the regime k = o(m^{1/4}). On the way to our solution, we develop a toolbox of independent interest. First, we introduce a new notion of periodicity in Cartesian trees. Then, we lift multiple well-known combinatorial and algorithmic results for string matching and periodicity in strings to Cartesian tree matching and periodicity in Cartesian trees.

Extending the Burrows-Wheeler Transform for Cartesian Tree Matching and Constructing It

Authors: Eric M. Osterkamp and Dominik Köppl

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 331, 36th Annual Symposium on Combinatorial Pattern Matching (CPM 2025)

Abstract
Cartesian tree matching is a form of generalized pattern matching where a substring of the text matches with the pattern if they share the same Cartesian tree. This form of matching finds application for time series of stock prices and can be of interest for melody matching between musical scores. For the indexing problem, the state-of-the-art data structure is a Burrows-Wheeler transform based solution due to [Kim and Cho, CPM'21], which uses nearly succinct space and can count the number of substrings that Cartesian tree match with a pattern in time linear in the pattern length. The authors address the construction of their data structure with a straight-forward solution that, however, requires pointer-based data structures, resulting in O(n lg n) bits of space, where n is the text length [Kim and Cho, CPM'21, Section A.4]. We address this bottleneck by a construction that requires O(n lg σ) bits of space and has a time complexity of O(n (lg σ lg n)/(lg lg n)), where σ is alphabet size. Additionally, we can extend this index for indexing multiple circular texts in the spirit of the extended Burrows-Wheeler transform without sacrificing the time and space complexities. We present this index in a dynamic variant, where we pay a logarithmic slowdown and need space linear in the input texts in bits for the extra functionality that we can incrementally add texts. Our extended setting is of interest for finding repetitive motifs common in the aforementioned applications, independent of offsets and scaling.

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.

Compact Text Indexing for Advanced Pattern Matching Problems: Parameterized, Order-Isomorphic, 2D, etc. (Invited Talk)

Authors: Sharma V. Thankachan

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

Abstract
In the past two decades, we have witnessed the design of various compact data structures for pattern matching over an indexed text [Navarro, 2016]. Popular indexes like the FM-index [Paolo Ferragina and Giovanni Manzini, 2005], compressed suffix arrays/trees [Roberto Grossi and Jeffrey Scott Vitter, 2005; Kunihiko Sadakane, 2007], the recent r-index [Travis Gagie et al., 2020; Takaaki Nishimoto and Yasuo Tabei, 2021], etc., capture the key functionalities of classic suffix arrays/trees [Udi Manber and Eugene W. Myers, 1993; Peter Weiner, 1973] in compact space. Mostly, they rely on the Burrows-Wheeler Transform (BWT) and its associated operations [Burrows and Wheeler, 1994]. However, compactly encoding some advanced suffix tree (ST) variants, like parameterized ST [Brenda S. Baker, 1993; S. Rao Kosaraju, 1995; Juan Mendivelso et al., 2020], order-isomorphic/preserving ST [Maxime Crochemore et al., 2016], two-dimensional ST [Raffaele Giancarlo, 1995; Dong Kyue Kim et al., 1998], etc. [Sung Gwan Park et al., 2019; Tetsuo Shibuya, 2000]- collectively known as suffix trees with missing suffix links [Richard Cole and Ramesh Hariharan, 2003], has been challenging. The previous techniques are not easily extendable because these variants do not hold some structural properties of the standard ST that enable compression. However, some limited progress has been made in these directions recently [Arnab Ganguly et al., 2017; Travis Gagie et al., 2017; Gianni Decaroli et al., 2017; Dhrumil Patel and Rahul Shah, 2021; Arnab Ganguly et al., 2021; Sung{-}Hwan Kim and Hwan{-}Gue Cho, 2021; Sung{-}Hwan Kim and Hwan{-}Gue Cho, 2021; Arnab Ganguly et al., 2017; Arnab Ganguly et al., 2022; Arnab Ganguly et al., 2021]. This talk will briefly survey them and highlight some interesting open problems.

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.
