Abstract

How to solve string problems, if instead of input
string we get only program generating it? Is it possible to
solve problems faster than just "generate text + apply classical
algorithm"?

In this paper we consider strings generated by straight-line programs
(SLP). These are programs using only assignment operator. We show
new algorithms for equivalence, pattern matching, finding periods and
covers, computing fingerprint table on SLP-generated strings.
From the other hand, computing the Hamming distance is NP-hard.

Main corollary is an $O(n2*m)$ algorithm for pattern matching in
LZ-compressed texts.
