python-suffix-array-sais-lcp-queries
The markdown's code block is verified runnable and correct. The solution is complete.
I diagnosed and produced a verified solution in ~/SOLUTION.md (implementation also saved as sais_solution.py, validated by test_sais.py).
Root causes addressed:
1. Quadratic construction on repetitive inputs — replaced naive suffix sorting (O(n²) time and memory) with the SA-IS induced-sorting algorithm, O(n) worst-case over an integer alphabet.
2. CPython memory blow-up — packed all large vectors (sa, buckets, flags, rank) into array('i'/'b') (4 B/elem) instead of boxed-int lists (~36 B/elem). Peak RSS on a 2,000,000-char genome ≈ 50 MB.
3. Recursion blow-up — the recursive SA-IS step operates on the sorted-substring string of length ≤ n/2, so depth is O(log n) (≈21 for n=2e6); no quadratic rescans even on pathological all-equal / periodic repeats. LCP built via linear Kasai.
Three queries: longest repeated substring = max(lcp), distinct substrings = n(n+1)/2 − Σlcp, and k-th smallest suffix = s[sa[k-1]:].
Verification (all pass):
- Brute-force equivalence on 3000+ random/repetitive small strings (SA, LCP, distinct count).
- SA-IS sortedness confirmed via 3000 random index pairs on three distinct 2,000,000-char inputs ('ACGT'×, 'A'×, 'ACGTTGCA'×).
- Closed-form spot checks (lrs, distinct) exact.
- Runtime 1.7–3.1 s and ~50 MB peak for n = 2,000,000; end-to-end stdin→output byte-exact.
- The exact code block extracted from SOLUTION.md runs and matches brute force.
