Streaming k-Edit Approximate Pattern Matching via String Decomposition

Abstract

In this paper we give an algorithm for streaming k-edit approximate pattern matching which uses space Õ(k²) and time Õ(k²) per arriving symbol. This improves substantially on the recent algorithm of Kociumaka, Porat and Starikovskaya [Kociumaka et al., 2022] which uses space Õ(k⁵) and time Õ(k⁸) per arriving symbol. In the k-edit approximate pattern matching problem we get a pattern P and text T and we want to identify all substrings of the text T that are at edit distance at most k from P. In the streaming version of this problem both the pattern and the text arrive in a streaming fashion symbol by symbol and after each symbol of the text we need to report whether there is a current suffix of the text with edit distance at most k from P. We measure the total space needed by the algorithm and time needed per arriving symbol.
