Title
Internal Dictionary Matching
Abstract
We introduce data structures answering queries concerning the occurrences of patterns from a given dictionary D in fragments of a given string T of length n. The dictionary is internal in the sense that each pattern in D is given as a fragment of T. This way, D takes space proportional to the number of patterns d = vertical bar D vertical bar rather than their total length, which could be Theta(n . d). In particular, we consider the following types of queries: reporting and counting all occurrences of patterns from D in a fragment T [i .. j] and reporting distinct patterns from D that occur in T [i .. j]. We show how to construct, in O((n + d) log(O(1)) n) time, a data structure that answers each of these queries in time O(log(O(1)) n + vertical bar output vertical bar). The case of counting patterns is much more involved and needs a combination of a locally consistent parsing with orthogonal range searching. Reporting distinct patterns, on the other hand, uses the structure of maximal repetitions in strings. Finally, we provide tight-up to subpolynomial factors-upper and lower bounds for the case of a dynamic dictionary.
