Alternative Algorithms for Lyndon Factorization
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present two variations of Duval’s algorithm for computing the Lyndon factorization of a word. The first algorithm is designed for the case of small alphabets and is able to skip a significant portion of the characters of the string, for strings containing runs of the smallest character in the alphabet. Experimental results show that it is faster than Duval’s original algorithm, more than ten times in the case of long DNA strings. The second algorithm computes, given a run-length encoded string R of length ρ, the Lyndon factorization of R in O(ρ) time and constant space.

On the Size of Lempel-Ziv and Lyndon Factorizations
Lyndon factorization and Lempel-Ziv (LZ) factorization are both important tools for analysing the structure and complexity of strings, but their combinatorial structure is very different. In this paper, we establish the first direct connection between the two by showing that while the Lyndon factorization can be bigger than the non-overlapping LZ factorization (which we demonstrate by describin...
متن کاملInverse Lyndon words and Inverse Lyndon factorizations of words
Motivated by applications to string processing, we introduce variants of the Lyndon factorization called inverse Lyndon factorizations. Their factors, named inverse Lyndon words, are in a class that strictly contains anti-Lyndon words, that is Lyndon words with respect to the inverse lexicographic order. We prove that any nonempty word w admits a canonical inverse Lyndon factorization, named IC...
متن کاملWZ factorization via Abay-Broyden-Spedicato algorithms
Classes of Abaffy-Broyden-Spedicato (ABS) methods have been introduced for solving linear systems of equations. The algorithms are powerful methods for developing matrix factorizations and many fundamental numerical linear algebra processes. Here, we show how to apply the ABS algorithms to devise algorithms to compute the WZ and ZW factorizations of a nonsingular matrix as well as...
متن کاملSorting Suffixes of a Text via its Lyndon Factorization
The process of sorting the suffixes of a text plays a fundamental role in Text Algorithms. They are used for instance in the constructions of the BurrowsWheeler transform and the suffix array, widely used in several fields of Computer Science. For this reason, several recent researches have been devoted to finding new strategies to obtain effective methods for such a sorting. In this paper we i...
متن کاملThe standard factorization of Lyndon words: an average point of view
A non-empty word w is a Lyndon word if and only if it is strictly smaller for the lexicographical order than any of its proper suffixes. Such a word w is either a letter or admits a standard factorization uv where v is its smallest proper suffix. For any Lyndon word v, we show that the set of Lyndon words having v as right factor of the standard factorization is regular and compute explicitly t...
