Filtering is a standard technique for fast approximate string matching in practice. In filtering, a quick first step is used to rule out almost all positions of a text as possib...
An arc-annotated string is a string of characters, called bases, augmented with a set of pairs, called arcs, each connecting two bases. Given arc-annotated strings P and Q the arc-...
Abstract- String matching problem received much attention over the years due to its importance in various applications such as text/file comparison, DNA sequencing, search engines,...
We address the problem of building an index for a set D of n strings, where each string location is a subset of some finite integer alphabet of size , so that we can answer effici...
We introduce a new filtering method for approximate string matching called the suffix filter. It has some similarity with well-known filtration algorithms, which we call factor...
