Approximate Cartesian Tree Matching with Substitutions
Panagiotis Charalampopoulos, Jonas Ellert, Manal Mohamed
https://arxiv.org/abs/2602.08570 https://arxiv.org/pdf/2602.08570 https://arxiv.org/html/2602.08570
arXiv:2602.08570v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: The Cartesian tree of a sequence captures the relative order of the sequence's elements. In recent years, Cartesian tree matching has attracted considerable attention, particularly due to its applications in time series analysis. Consider a text $T$ of length $n$ and a pattern $P$ of length $m$. In the exact Cartesian tree matching problem, the task is to find all length-$m$ fragments of $T$ whose Cartesian tree coincides with the Cartesian tree $CT(P)$ of the pattern. Although the exact version of the problem can be solved in linear time [Park et al., TCS 2020], it remains rather restrictive; for example, it is not robust to outliers in the pattern.
To overcome this limitation, we consider the approximate setting, where the goal is to identify all fragments of $T$ that are close to some string whose Cartesian tree matches $CT(P)$. In this work, we quantify closeness via the widely used Hamming distance metric. For a given integer parameter $k>0$, we present an algorithm that computes all fragments of $T$ that are at Hamming distance at most $k$ from a string whose Cartesian tree matches $CT(P)$. Our algorithm runs in time $\mathcal O(n \sqrt{m} \cdot k^{2.5})$ for $k \leq m^{1/5}$ and in time $\mathcal O(nk^5)$ for $k \geq m^{1/5}$, thereby improving upon the state-of-the-art $\mathcal O(nmk)$-time algorithm of Kim and Han [TCS 2025] in the regime $k = o(m^{1/4})$.
On the way to our solution, we develop a toolbox of independent interest. First, we introduce a new notion of periodicity in Cartesian trees. Then, we lift multiple well-known combinatorial and algorithmic results for string matching and periodicity in strings to Cartesian tree matching and periodicity in Cartesian trees.

It's hard to overstate Nvidia’s AI dominance.
Founded in 1993, Nvidia first made its mark in the then-new field of graphics processing units (GPUs) for personal computers.
But it’s the company’s AI chips,
not PC graphics hardware,
that vaulted Nvidia into the ranks of the world’s most valuable companies.
It turns out that Nvidia’s GPUs are also excellent for AI.

When the FBI executed a warrant on Wednesday
to seize records from the 2020 presidential vote in Fulton County, Georgia,
it marked both an extraordinary event in the history of American elections
and a significant escalation in Donald Trump’s breaking of democratic norms, several legal experts said.
Trump has long claimed, without evidence, that the 2020 election was stolen from him
and blamed Georgia, in particular,
for his loss to Joe Biden.
