Abstract

We consider the problem of storing a grammar of size n compressing a string of size N, and a set of positions {i1, …, ib} (bookmarks) such that any substring of length l crossing one of the positions can be decompressed in O(l) time. Our solution uses space O((n+b)max{1, log n−log (n/b + b/n)}). Existing solutions for the bookmarking problem either require more space or a super-constant “kick-off” time to start the decompression.
