Abstract

We study the approximate string matching and regular expressionmatching problemfor the casewhen the text to be searched is compressedwith the Ziv-Lempel adaptive dictionary compression schemes. We present a time-space trade-off that leads to algorithms improving the previously known complexities for both problems. In particular, we significantly improve the space bounds. In practical applications the space is likely to be a bottleneck and therefore this is of crucial importance.
