Indexes for Jumbled Pattern Matching in Strings, Trees and Graphs
arXiv:1304.5560
Abstract
We consider how to index strings, trees and graphs for jumbled pattern matching when we are asked to return a match if one exists. For example, we show how, given a tree containing two colours, we can build a quadratic-space index with which we can find a match in time proportional to the size of the match. We also show how we need only linear space if we are content with approximate matches.
