Abstract

Lexicographically minimal and lexicographically maximal suffixes of a string are fundamental notions of stringology. It is well known that the lexicographically minimal and maximal suffixes of a given string S can be computed in linear time and space by constructing a suffix tree or a suffix array of S. Here we consider the case when S is a substring of another string T of length n. We propose two linear-space data structures for T which allow to compute the minimal suffix of S in O(log1 + ε n) time (for any fixed ε > 0) and the maximal suffix of S in O(logn) time. Both data structures take O(n) time to construct.
