Abstract

Let W be a dictionary consisting of n binary strings of length m each, represented as a trie. The usual d-query asks if there exists a string in W within Hamming distance d of a given binary query string q. We present an algorithm to determine if there is a member in W within edit distance d of a given query string q of length m. The method takes time O(dmd+1) in the RAM model, independent of n, and requires O(dm) additional space.
