Tighter Bounds and Optimal Algorithms for All Maximal α-gapped Repeats and Palindromes

Abstract: An α-gapped repeat (α ≥ 1) in a word w is a factor uvu of w such that |uv| ≤ α |u|; the two occurrences of u are called arms of this α-gapped repeat. An α-gapped repeat is called maximal if its arms cannot be extended simultaneously with the same character to the right nor to the left. We show that the number of all maximal α-gapped repeats occurring in words of length n is upper bounded by 18αn. In the case of α-gapped palindromes, i.e., factors uvu with |uv| ≤ α|u|, we show that the number of all maximal α-g… Show more

“…Palindromes are strings that read the same forward and backward. Finding palindromic structures in a given string is a fundamental task in string processing, and thus it has extensively been studied (e.g., see [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9] and references therein).…”
