Faster and Simpler Online/Sliding Rightmost Lempel-Ziv Factorizations
摘要
We tackle the problems of computing the rightmost variant of the Lempel-Ziv factorizations in the online/sliding model. Previous best bounds for this problem are \(O(n \log n)\) time with O(n) space, due to Amir et al. [IPL 2002] for the online model, and due to Larsson [CPM 2014] for the sliding model. In this paper, we present faster \(O(n \log n / \log \log n)\) -time solutions to both of the online/sliding models. Our algorithms are built on a simple data structure named BP-linked trees, and on a slightly improved version of the range minimum/maximum query (RmQ/RMQ) data structure on a dynamic list of integers. We also present other applications of our algorithms.
