Abstract
Given a text T and a pattern P, the order-preserving pattern matching (OPPM) problem is to find all substrings in T which have the same relative orders as P. The OPPM has been studied in the fields of finding some patterns affected by relative orders, not by their absolute values. For example, it can be applied to time series analysis like share prices on stock markets and to musical melody matching of two musical scores. In this paper, we present a new method of deciding the order-isomorphism between two strings even when there are same characters. Then, we show that the bad character rule of the Horspool algorithm for generic pattern matching problems can be applied to the OPPM problem. Finally, we present a fast algorithm for the OPPM problem and give experimental results to show that our algorithm is about 2 to 5 times faster than the KMP-based algorithm in reasonable cases.
