I. Lyndon Factorization



  • Definition: Lyndon word is a nonempty string that is strictly smaller in lexicographic order than all of its rotations.

  • Alternatively: Lyndon word is nonempty and lexicographically strictly smaller than any of its proper suffixes.

  • Alternatively: Let $$$S, T, Z$$$ is nonempty word. $$$S$$$ is Lyndon word if $$$S < T\ \ \ \forall\ S = Z + T$$$

  • Lyndon factorization is that for $$$s = s_1 + s_2 + \dots + s_k$$$ where $$$s_i$$$ is nonempty shortest-able string and in decreasing order $$$s1 \geq s2 \geq \dots \geq s_k$$$

  • Special Property: Lyndon factorization is unique.

Notice that the operator + is string concatenation











II. Duval Algorithm



  • Exist Time: 1983

  • Duval algorithm is an effecient algorithm for listing the Lyndon words of length at most $$$n$$$ with a given alphabet size $$$s$$$ in lexicographic order in $$$O(n)$$$

  • The position of the last Lyndon factorized word from Duval algorithm provides minimum cyclic string

The pseudo algorithm
Implementation - O(n) Time - O(1) Auxiliary Space
Detail Implementation - O(n) Time - O(1) Auxiliary Space










III. Real Life Applications



1) Finger print identification:
  • We can encode the finger print into many detailed circular strings. How to search such finger print again from those in very huge data base ? Circular comparision using lyndon factorization is requried.

2) Biological genetics:
  • In some cases, we need to know whether these two group's genetics are belonged to the same bacteria, virus.

3) Games:
  • Well, ofcourse we can apply the algorithm in some language/words-related games










IV. Programming Applications



1) Least rotation to make smallest lexicographical ordered string.
  • Given a string $$$S$$$ of size $$$N$$$

  • A right-rotation is that move the leftmost character to rightmost of $$$S$$$

  • Find the least right-rotation to make $$$S$$$ become the smallest lexicographical ordered string

Important Property: After those right-rotations, the string will be Minimum Acyclic String

Simple Solution - O(n^2 log n) Time - O(n^2) Auxiliary Space
  • One thing we can come in mind is to use hash or string algorithms in $$$O(n\ log\ n)$$$, but they are kinda complex (I will add the codes of these ways later)

  • We can apply lyndon factorization with a little bit observation

Detail Solution - O(n) Time - O(n) Auxiliary Space
Nocomment Solution - O(n) Time - O(n) Auxiliary Space
Optimized Solution - O(n) Time - O(1) Auxiliary Space

Practices Problem:











V. My Question



  • Are there any other applications for Lyndon Factorization ?

  • Are there any other problems for Lyndon Factorization ?
