Improved space-time tradeoffs for approximate full-text indexing with   one edit error
  In this paper we are interested in indexing texts for substring matching queries with one edit error. That is, given a text $T$ of $n$ characters over an alphabet of size $\sigma$, we are asked to build a data structure that answers the following query: find all the $occ$ substrings of the text that are at edit distance at most $1$ from a given string $q$ of length $m$. In this paper we show two new results for this problem. The first result, suitable for an unbounded alphabet, uses $O(n\log^\epsilon n)$ (where $\epsilon$ is any constant such that $0<\epsilon<1$) words of space and answers to queries in time $O(m+occ)$. This improves simultaneously in space and time over the result of Cole et al. The second result, suitable only for a constant alphabet, relies on compressed text indices and comes in two variants: the first variant uses $O(n\log^{\epsilon} n)$ bits of space and answers to queries in time $O(m+occ)$, while the second variant uses $O(n\log\log n)$ bits of space and answers to queries in time $O((m+occ)\log\log n)$. This second result improves on the previously best results for constant alphabets achieved in Lam et al. (Algorithmica 2008) and Chan et al. (Algorithmica 2010).
