Indexing highly repetitive string collections, part II: Compressed indexes

G Navarro - ACM Computing Surveys (CSUR), 2021 - dl.acm.org
Two decades ago, a breakthrough in indexing string collections made it possible to
represent them within their compressed space while at the same time offering indexed …

Fully functional suffix trees and optimal text searching in BWT-runs bounded space

T Gagie, G Navarro, N Prezza - Journal of the ACM (JACM), 2020 - dl.acm.org
Indexing highly repetitive texts—such as genomic databases, software repositories and
versioned text collections—has become an important problem since the turn of the …

At the roots of dictionary compression: string attractors

D Kempa, N Prezza - Proceedings of the 50th Annual ACM SIGACT …, 2018 - dl.acm.org
A well-known fact in the field of lossless text compression is that high-order entropy is a
weak model when the input contains long repetitions. Motivated by this fact, decades of …

Collapsing the hierarchy of compressed data structures: Suffix arrays in optimal compressed space

D Kempa, T Kociumaka - 2023 IEEE 64th Annual Symposium …, 2023 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
The last two decades have witnessed a dramatic increase in the amount of highly repetitive

Resolution of the burrows-wheeler transform conjecture

D Kempa, T Kociumaka - Communications of the ACM, 2022 - dl.acm.org
Abstract The Burrows-Wheeler Transform (BWT) is an invertible text transformation that
permutes symbols of a text according to the lexicographical order of its suffixes. BWT is the …

Optimal-time text indexing in BWT-runs bounded space

T Gagie, G Navarro, N Prezza - Proceedings of the Twenty-Ninth Annual ACM …, 2018 - SIAM

Towards a definitive measure of repetitiveness

T Kociumaka, G Navarro, N Prezza - Latin American Symposium on …, 2020 - Springer
Unlike in statistical compression, where Shannon's entropy is a definitive lower bound, no
such clear measure exists for the compressibility of repetitive sequences. Since statistical …

On compressing and indexing repetitive sequences

S Kreft, G Navarro - Theoretical Computer Science, 2013 - Elsevier
We introduce LZ-End, a new member of the Lempel–Ziv family of text compressors, which
achieves compression ratios close to those of LZ77 but is much faster at extracting arbitrary …
