Duel and sweep algorithm for order-preserving pattern matching

Given a text $T$ and a pattern $P$ over alphabet $\Sigma$, the classic exact matching problem searches for all occurrences of pattern $P$ in text $T$. Unlike exact matching problem, order-preserving pattern matching (OPPM) considers the relative order of elements, rather than their real values. In this paper, we propose an efficient algorithm for OPPM problem using the "duel-and-sweep" paradigm. Our algorithm runs in $O(n + m\log m)$ time in general and $O(n + m)$ time under an assumption that the characters in a string can be sorted in linear time with respect to the string size. We also perform experiments and show that our algorithm is faster that KMP-based algorithm. Last, we introduce the two-dimensional order preserved pattern matching and give a duel and sweep algorithm that runs in $O(n^2)$ time for duel stage and $O(n^2 m)$ time for sweeping time with $O(m^3)$ preprocessing time.

New Variants of Pattern Matching with Constants and Variables

Given a text and a pattern over two types of symbols called constants and variables, the parameterized pattern matching problem is to find all occurrences of substrings of the text that the pattern matches by substituting a variable in the text for each variable in the pattern, where the substitution should be injective. The function matching problem is a variant of it that lifts the injection constraint. In this paper, we discuss variants of those problems, where one can substitute a constant or a variable for each variable of the pattern. We give two kinds of algorithms for both problems, a convolution-based method and an extended KMP-based method, and analyze their complexity.

Position Heaps for Parameterized Strings

We propose a new indexing structure for parameterized strings, called parameterized position heap. Parameterized position heap is applicable for parameterized pattern matching problem, where the pattern matches a substring of the text if there exists a bijective mapping from the symbols of the pattern to the symbols of the substring. We propose an online construction algorithm of parameterized position heap of a text and show that our algorithm runs in linear time with respect to the text size. We also show that by using parameterized position heap, we can find all occurrences of a pattern in the text in linear time with respect to the product of the pattern size and the alphabet size.

Longest Common Subsequence in at Least $k$ Length Order-Isomorphic Substrings

We consider the longest common subsequence (LCS) problem with the restriction that the common subsequence is required to consist of at least $k$ length substrings. First, we show an $O(mn)$ time algorithm for the problem which gives a better worst-case running time than existing algorithms, where $m$ and $n$ are lengths of the input strings. Furthermore, we mainly consider the LCS in at least $k$ length order-isomorphic substrings problem. We show that the problem can also be solved in $O(mn)$ worst-case time by an easy-to-implement algorithm.
