Compared to grammar indexes, the size of the RLBWT is often much bigger, but queries like counting the occurrences of long patterns can be done much faster than on any existing grammar index so far. In this paper, we combine the virtues of a grammar with the RLBWT by building the RLBWT on top of a special grammar based on induced suffix sorting. Our experiments reveal that our hybrid approach outperforms the classic RLBWT with respect to the index sizes, and with respect to query times on biological data sets for sufficiently long patterns.","url_abs":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2110.01181v1","url_pdf":"https://arxiv.org/pdf/2110.01181v1.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"links_only","authors_date_abstract":"arXiv metadata, CC0 1.0 (https://info.arxiv.org/help/license), from the Kaggle arXiv metadata snapshot of 2026-09-12"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"fm-indexing-grammars-induced-by-suffix","repo_url":"https://github.com/jamie-jjd/figiss","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":0,"framework":"none","reach":null}],"tasks":[],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"syntology_url":null,"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
