Pattern matching with don't cares and few errors
Abstract
We present solutions for the k-mismatch pattern matching problem
with don't cares. Given a text t of length n and a pattern p of length m
with don't care symbols and a bound k, our algorithms find all the places
that the pattern matches the text with at most k mismatches. We first
give an \Theta(n(k + logmlog k) log n) time randomised algorithm which finds
the correct answer with high probability. We then present a new deter-
ministic \Theta(nk^2 log^m)time solution that uses tools originally developed
for group testing. Taking our derandomisation approach further we de-
velop an approach based on k-selectors that runs in \Theta(nk polylogm) time.
Further, in each case the location of the mismatches at each alignment is
also given at no extra cost.
