Using the Lempel-Ziv-78 compression algorithm to compress a string yields a dictionary of substrings, i.e. an edge-labelled tree with an order-compatible enumeration, here called a...
Countless variants of the Lempel-Ziv compression are widely used in many real-life applications. This paper is concerned with a natural modification of the classical pattern match...
Abstract. A compressed full-text self-index for a text T is a data structure requiring reduced space and able of searching for patterns P in T. Furthermore, the structure can repro...
We describe a model for strings of characters that is loosely based on the Lempel Ziv model with the addition that a repeated substring can be an approximate match to the original...
We raise the question of approximating the compressibility of a string with respect to a fixed compression scheme, in sublinear time. We study this question in detail for two popu...
