Given a set of strings U = {T1, T2, . . . , T }, the longest common repeat problem is to find the longest common substring that appears at least twice in each string of U, conside...
Retrieval systems rank documents according to their retrieval status values (RSV) if these are monotonously increasing with the probability of relevance of documents. In this work,...
Let A and B be strings with lengths m and n, respectively, over a finite integer alphabet. Two classic string mathing problems are computing the edit distance between A and B, and...
We consider the problem of finding pairs of short patterns such that, in a given input sequence of length n, the distance between each pair’s patterns is at least α. The proble...
Proximity searching consists in retrieving from a database, objects that are close to a query. For this type of searching problem, the most general model is the metric space, where...
