Abstract: The palindromic tree (a.k.a. eertree) for a string S of length n is a tree-like data structure that represents the set of all distinct palindromic substrings of S, using O(n) space [Rubinchik and Shur, 2018]. It is known that, when S is over an alphabet of size sigma and is given in an online manner, then the palindromic tree of S can be constructed in O(nlogsigma) time with O(n) space. In this paper, we consider the sliding window version of the problem: For a sliding window of length at most d, we present two versions of an algorithm which maintains the palindromic tree of size O(d) for every sliding window S[i..j] over S, where 1leqji+1leqd. The first version works in O(nlogsigma) time with O(d) space where sigmaleqd is the maximum number of distinct characters in the windows, and the second one works in O(n+dsigma) time with (d+2)sigma+O(d) space. We also show how our algorithms can be applied to efficient computation of minimal unique palindromic substrings (MUPS) and minimal absent palindromic words (MAPW) for a sliding window.
