Abstract

Giancarlo's s-trees [9] has been the most efficient data structure for representing a library of text matrices such that we can efficiently search for the occurrences of any pattern matrix in the library, and update the library dynamically through insertion and deletion of texts. This paper presents a new scheme which improves the s-trees and provides faster algorithms for each above-mentioned operation. In particular, this scheme, though allowing the library to change dynamically, can search for a pattern as fast as the currently best algorithm designed for the static case, in which the text matrices are all fixed in advance.
