Abstract

We propose multi-dimensional index data structures that generalize suffix arrays to square matrices and cubic matrices. Giancarlo proposed a two-dimensional index data structure, the Lsuffix tree, that generalizes suffix trees to square matrices. However, the construction algorithm for Lsuffix trees maintains complicated data structures and uses a large amount of space. We present simple construction algorithms for multi-dimensional suffix arrays by applying a new partitioning technique to lexicographic sorting. Our contributions are the first efficient algorithms for constructing two-dimensional and three-dimensional suffix arrays directly.
