字符串算法非常常见,并且在一般的算法竞赛中,往往都是以压轴题的形式出现
这里先研究字符串和它的子串的一些关系

常用的字符串和它的子串的处理工具
主要有后缀数组和后缀自动机

后缀数组初步算法

思想概述

后缀数组的思想理解起来并不复杂
具体的见下图:

其中精妙的地方在于:
比如后缀{a,abra,abracadabra}\{ a, abra, abracadabra \}
都存在a这个前缀,这个时候用基数排序,把频次转换成索引
然后跟高考成绩排名一样,依次对字符串排序下来

然后接着处理第二个字符

具体的程序实现如下

后缀数组Manber-Myers算法

思想概述

上述朴素算法,效率是比较低的
我们每一次都对字符串从头到尾扫描一遍
最坏情况下,算法的效率是O(n2/2)O(n^2/2)

如何改进呢?
能不能在基数排序str[0]完成之后,利用str[0]的信息,来接着处理str[1], str[2]…呢
先这样想,我们把第一位的结果,当成是第二位的可以不可以呢?
字符串右移一位,会是什么情况呢?

具体的算法图解如下:

其实就相当于把串整体下移一位
利用第一次的结果排序第二次
这样前缀的值就可以确定下来,我们可以尝试求解LCP

LCP求解

最后的结果是:
