Streaming Periodicity with Mismatches, Wildcards, and Edits

Authors: Taha El Ghazi and Tatiana Starikovskaya

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 359, 36th International Symposium on Algorithms and Computation (ISAAC 2025)

Abstract
In this work, we study the problem of detecting periodic trends in strings. While detecting exact periodicity has been studied extensively, real-world data is often noisy, where small deviations or mismatches occur between repetitions. This work focuses on a generalized approach to period detection that efficiently handles noise. Given a string S of length n, the task is to identify integers p such that the prefix and the suffix of S, each of length n-p+1, are similar under a given distance measure. Ergün et al. [APPROX-RANDOM 2017] were the first to study this problem in the streaming model under the Hamming distance. In this work, we combine, in a non-trivial way, the Hamming distance sketch of Clifford et al. [SODA 2019] and the structural description of the k-mismatch occurrences of a pattern in a text by Charalampopoulos et al. [FOCS 2020] to present a more efficient streaming algorithm for period detection under the Hamming distance. As a corollary, we derive a streaming algorithm for detecting periods of strings which may contain wildcards, a special symbol that match any character of the alphabet. Our algorithm is not only more efficient than that of Ergün et al. [TCS 2020], but it also operates without their assumption that the string must be free of wildcards in its final characters. Additionally, we introduce the first two-pass streaming algorithm for computing periods under the edit distance by leveraging and extending the Bhattacharya-Koucký’s grammar decomposition technique [STOC 2023].

Small Space Encoding and Recognition of k-Palindromic Prefixes

Authors: Gabriel Bathie, Jonas Ellert, and Tatiana Starikovskaya

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 359, 36th International Symposium on Algorithms and Computation (ISAAC 2025)

Abstract
Palindromes are non-empty strings that read the same forward and backward. We study the problem of recognizing so-called k-palindromic strings, which can be represented as the concatenation of exactly k palindromes. [Rubinchik and Shur, MFCS 2020] showed that the problem is solvable in linear space and time. We present a read-only algorithm that recognizes all k-palindromic prefixes of a string T of length n in O(n ⋅ 6^{k²} ⋅ log^k n) time and O(6^{k²} ⋅ log^k n) space. As a corollary, we also obtain a read-only algorithm for computing the palindromic length of T, i.e., the smallest k such that T is k-palindromic, in O(n ⋅ 6^{k²} ⋅ log^⌈k/2⌉ n) time and O(6^{k²} ⋅ log^⌈k/2⌉ n) space.

Searching Long Repeats in Streams

Authors: Oleg Merkurev and Arseny M. Shur

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

Abstract
We consider two well-known related problems: Longest Repeated Substring (LRS) and Longest Repeated Reversed Substring (LRRS). Their streaming versions cannot be solved exactly; we show that only approximate solutions by Monte Carlo algorithms are possible, and prove a lower bound on consumed memory. For both problems, we present purely linear-time Monte Carlo algorithms working in O(E + n/E) space, where E is the additive approximation error. Within the same space bounds, we then present nearly real-time solutions, which require O(log n) time per symbol and O(n + n/E log n) time overall. The working space exactly matches the lower bound whenever E=O(n^{0.5}) and the size of the alphabet is Omega(n^{0.01}).

Tight Tradeoffs for Real-Time Approximation of Longest Palindromes in Streams

Authors: Pawel Gawrychowski, Oleg Merkurev, Arseny Shur, and Przemyslaw Uznanski

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

Abstract
We consider computing a longest palindrome in the streaming model, where the symbols arrive one-by-one and we do not have random access to the input. While computing the answer exactly using sublinear space is not possible in such a setting, one can still hope for a good approximation guarantee. Our contribution is twofold. First, we provide lower bounds on the space requirements for randomized approximation algorithms processing inputs of length n. We rule out Las Vegas algorithms, as they cannot achieve sublinear space complexity. For Monte Carlo algorithms, we prove a lower bounds of Omega(M log min {|Sigma|, M}) bits of memory; here M=n/E for approximating the answer with additive error E, and M= log n / log (1 + epsilon) for approximating the answer with multiplicative error (1 + epsilon). Second, we design three real-time algorithms for this problem. Our Monte Carlo approximation algorithms for both additive and multiplicative versions of the problem use O(M) words of memory. Thus the obtained lower bounds are asymptotically tight up to a logarithmic factor. The third algorithm is deterministic and finds a longest palindrome exactly if it is short. This algorithm can be run in parallel with a Monte Carlo algorithm to obtain better results in practice. Overall, both the time and space complexity of finding a longest palindrome in a stream are essentially settled.
