Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The analysis of one-dimensional regularities lies at the intersection of discrete mathematics, algorithms and data structures. This field is still gaining momentum due to the rapid and ever-accelerating pace at which data are collected, supported by modern storage architectures and network infrastructures.

Advancements in this field, involving combinatorial aspects as well as the mathematical analysis of algorithmic complexities, help us address the vital question of how to process large datasets efficiently. With a better understanding of one-dimensional regularities, in particular in strings, we can leverage those regularities not only to compress textual data but also to query the data more efficiently. Such benefits are not limited to strings, but also give rise to the design of more efficient algorithms and data structures for trees, graphs and so on.

We cordially invite you to submit your research results to this Special Issue. The key areas of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

  •  Working with general text data;
  •  String algorithms (such as string processing or pattern matching in strings);
  •  Searching and indexing strings;
  •  Lossless compression of strings (algorithms and compression schemes);
  •  Succinct or compressed data structures for strings.

Both theoretical and experimental contributions are welcome. 

Please be aware that submissions for which there exists a conflict of interest (CoI), including joint publications with the Guest Editor, cannot be considered for this Special Issue.

For the sake of high-quality reviewing, we appreciate recommendations of reviewers without CoIs with authors.

We evaluate the influence of different alphabet orderings on the Lyndon factorization of a string. Experiments with Pizza&Chili datasets show that for most alphabet reorderings, the number of Lyndon factors is usually small, and the length of the longest Lyndon factor can be as large as the input string, which is unfavorable for algorithms and indexes that depend on the number of Lyndon factors. We present results with randomized alphabet permutations that can be used as a baseline to assess the effectiveness of heuristics and methods designed to modify the Lyndon factorization of a string via alphabet reordering.

For some fixed δ such that 0<δ<1, a δ-subrepetition in a word is a factor whose exponent is less than 2 but is not less than 1+δ (the exponent of the factor is the ratio of the factor length to its minimal period). The δ-subrepetition is maximal if it cannot be extended to the left or to the right by at least one letter while preserving its minimal period. In the paper, we propose an algorithm for searching all maximal δ-subrepetitions in a word of length n in O(nδlog1δ) time (the lower bound for this time is Ω(nδ)). It improves the previous known time complexity bounds for solving this problem. Full article

Two strings of the same length are order isomorphic if their relative orders are the same. The order-preserving pattern matching problem is to find all substrings of text T that are order isomorphic to pattern P when T(|T|=n) and P(|P|=m) are given. An O(mn+nqlogq+q!)-time algorithm using the O(m+q!) space for the order-preserving pattern matching problem has been proposed utilizing fingerprints of q-grams based on the factorial number system and the bad character heuristic. In this paper, we propose an O(mn+2q)-time algorithm using the O(m+2q) space for the order-preserving pattern matching problem, but utilizing fingerprints of q-grams converted to binary numbers. A comparative experiment using three types of time series data demonstrates that the proposed algorithm is faster than existing algorithms because it reduces the number of order isomorphism tests.
