Abstract

The position heap is a text indexing structure for a single text string, recently proposed by Ehrenfeucht et al. [Position heaps: A simple and dynamic text indexing data structure, Journal of Discrete Algorithms, 9(1):100-121, 2011]. In this paper we introduce the position heap for a set of strings, and propose an efficient algorithm to construct the position heap for a set of strings which is given as a trie. For a fixed alphabet our algorithm runs in time linear in the size of the trie. We also show that the position heap can be efficiently updated after addition/removal of a leaf of the input trie.
