Abstract

The study of strings is an important combinatorial field that precedes the digital computer. Strings can be very long, trillions of letters, so it is important to find compact representations. Here we first survey various forms of one potential compaction methodology, the cover of a given string x, initially proposed in a simple form in 1990, but increasingly of interest as more sophisticated variants have been discovered. We then consider covering by a seed; that is, a cover of a superstring of x. We conclude with many proposals for research directions that could make significant contributions to string processing in future.

字符串覆盖:一个调查

字符串的研究是数字计算机出现之前的一个重要的组合领域。字符串可能非常长，有数万亿个字母，因此找到紧凑的表示非常重要。在这里，我们首先调查一种潜在的压缩方法的各种形式，即给定字符串x的覆盖，该方法最初在1990年以简单的形式提出，但随着更复杂的变体被发现，人们对其越来越感兴趣。然后我们考虑用种子覆盖;我们最后提出了许多研究方向的建议，这些建议可能对未来的字符串处理做出重大贡献。
