Abstract

We present a new data structure called the packed compact trie (packed c-trie) which stores a set S of k strings of total length n in n log σ + O(k log n) bits of space and supports fast pattern matching queries and updates, where σ is the alphabet size.Assume that α = logσ n letters are packed in a single machine word on the standard word RAM model, and let f(k, n) denote the query and update times of the dynamic predecessor/successor data structure of our choice which stores k integers from universe [1, n] in O(k log n) bits of space.Then, given a string of length m, our packed c-tries support pattern matching queries and insert/delete operations in O(m/α f(k, n)) worst-case time and in O(m/α +f(k, n)) expected time.Our experiments show that our packed c-tries are faster than the standard compact tries (a.k.a.Patricia trees) on real data sets.We also discuss applications of our packed c-tries.
