Abstract

We consider the problem of indexing a collection of documents (a.k.a. strings) of total length n such that the following kind of queries are supported: given two patterns P + and P -, list all documents containing P + but not P -. This is a natural extension of the classic problem of document listing as considered by Muthukrishnan [SODA'02], where only the positive pattern P + is given. Our main solution is an index of size O(n 3/2) bits that supports queries in O(|P +| + |P -| + n match + √n) time.
