Compressing Suffix Trees by Path Decompositions
Ruben Becker, Davide Cenzato, Travis Gagie +4
The suffix tree is arguably the most fundamental data structure on strings: introduced by Weiner (SWAT 1973) and McCreight (JACM 1976), it allows solving a myriad of computational…
The Trie Measure, Revisited
Jarno N. Alanko, Ruben Becker, Davide Cenzato +4
In this paper, we study the following problem: given subsets of an integer universe , having total cardinality ,…
Suffixient Arrays: a New Efficient Suffix Array Compression Technique
Davide Cenzato, Lore Depuydt, Travis Gagie +4
The Suffix Array is a classic text index enabling on-line pattern matching queries via simple binary search. The main drawback of the Suffix Array is that it takes linear space in…
Encoding Co-Lex Orders of Finite-State Automata in Linear Space
Ruben Becker, Nicola Cotumaccio, Sung-Hwan Kim +2
The Burrows-Wheeler transform (BWT) is a string transformation that enhances string indexing and compressibility. Cotumaccio and Prezza [SODA '21] extended this transformation to n…
On the Complexity of Computing the Co-lexicographic Width of a Regular Language
Ruben Becker, Davide Cenzato, Sung-Hwan Kim +4
Co-lex partial orders were recently introduced in (Cotumaccio et al., SODA 2021 and JACM 2023) as a powerful tool to index finite state automata, with applications to regular expre…
Sketching and Streaming for Dictionary Compression
Ruben Becker, Matteo Canton, Davide Cenzato +3
We initiate the study of sub-linear sketching and streaming techniques for estimating the output size of common dictionary compressors such as Lempel-Ziv '77, the run-length Burrow…
