检测字符串中阿贝尔和加法平方因子的困难性

Hardness of Detecting Abelian and Additive Square Factors in Strings

Jakub Radoszewski, Wojciech Rytter, Juliusz Straszyński, Tomasz Waleń, Wiktor Zuba

摘要:

我们证明了3SUM-硬度(没有强次二次时间算法,假设3SUM猜想)的几个问题有关寻找阿贝尔平方和加法平方因子的字符串。特别是,我们得出结论的条件最优性的国家的最先进的算法,找到这样的因素。总的来说,我们展示了(a)检测奇数半长的阿贝尔平方因子,(b)计算所有阿贝尔平方因子的中心,(c)检测大小为$n^{\mathcal{O}(1)}$的整数的长度- $n$串中的加法平方因子,以及(d)计算双3项算术级数(即,找到索引$i \ne j$,使得在大小为$n^{\mathcal{O}(1)}$的整数序列$x_1,\dots,x_n$中有($(x_i+x_j)/2=x_{(i+j)/2}$)。问题(d)本质上是埃里克森手稿中提出的平均问题的卷积版本。借助Dudek等人最近开发的技术,我们获得了它的条件下限。[STOC 2020]。问题(d)立即简化为问题(c),并且是简化为问题(a)和(b)的步骤。在问题(a)和(b)的条件下界中,我们应用Amir等人的编码。[ICALP 2014]并使用几个字符串小工具扩展它,包括任意长的阿贝尔平方自由字符串。我们的减少也意味着条件下界检测阿贝尔广场字符串在一个恒定大小的字母表。在这种情况下,我们还显示了一个次二次上界,应用Chan和Lewenstein的结果[STOC 2015]。

英文摘要:

We prove 3SUM-hardness (no strongly subquadratic-time algorithm, assuming the 3SUM conjecture) of several problems related to finding Abelian square and additive square factors in a string. In particular, we conclude conditional optimality of the state-of-the-art algorithms for finding such factors. Overall, we show 3SUM-hardness of (a) detecting an Abelian square factor of an odd half-length, (b) computing centers of all Abelian square factors, (c) detecting an additive square factor in a length-$n$ string of integers of magnitude $n^{\mathcal{O}(1)}$, and (d) a problem of computing a double 3-term arithmetic progression (i.e., finding indices $i \ne j$ such that $(x_i+x_j)/2=x_{(i+j)/2}$) in a sequence of integers $x_1,\dots,x_n$ of magnitude $n^{\mathcal{O}(1)}$. Problem (d) is essentially a convolution version of the AVERAGE problem that was proposed in a manuscript of Erickson. We obtain a conditional lower bound for it with the aid of techniques recently developed by Dudek et al. [STOC 2020]. Problem (d) immediately reduces to problem (c) and is a step in reductions to problems (a) and (b). In conditional lower bounds for problems (a) and (b) we apply an encoding of Amir et al. [ICALP 2014] and extend it using several string gadgets that include arbitrarily long Abelian-square-free strings. Our reductions also imply conditional lower bounds for detecting Abelian squares in strings over a constant-sized alphabet. We also show a subquadratic upper bound in this case, applying a result of Chan and Lewenstein [STOC 2015].
