The indexing technique commonly used for long strings, such as genomes, is the suffix tree, which is based on a vertical (intra-path) compaction of the underlying trie structure. ...
We present a Boyer-Moore approach to string matching over LZ78 and LZW compressed text. The key idea is that, despite that we cannot exactly choose which text characters to inspect...
The analyses of many algorithms and data structures (such as digital search trees) for searching and sorting are based on the representation of the keys involved as bit strings and...
We address the problem of string matching on Ziv-Lempel compressed text. The goal is to search a pattern in a text without uncompressing it. This is a highly relevant issue to keep...
—The paper studies the problem of securely storing biometric passwords, such as fingerprints and irises. With the help of coding theory Juels and Wattenberg derived in 1999 a sc...
