Abstract

We consider the problem of designing an efficient index for approximate pattern matching. Despite ongoing efforts, this topic is still a challenge in combinatorial pattern matching. We present a new data structure that allows to report all matches in worst-case time O ( | Σ | m + occ ) , which is linear in the pattern length m and the number of occurrences occ for alphabets of constant size | Σ | . Our index uses O ( n | Σ | log n ) extra space on average and with high probability, where n is the length of the text (indexing) or the number of strings to index (dictionary lookup).
