Abstract

De Bruijn sequences of order n represent the set A n of all words of length n over a given alphabet A in the sense that they contain occurrences of each of these words. Recently, the computational problem of representing subsets of A n by partial words, which are sequences that may have holes that match each letter of A, was considered and shown to be in \(\mathcal{NP}\). However, membership in \(\mathcal{P}\) remained open. In this paper, we show that deciding if a subset is representable can be done in polynomial time. Our approach is graph theoretical.
