我的解決方案是基于后綴數組。它是由最長公共前綴的兩倍前綴構成的。最壞情況下的復雜度是O(n(logn)^2)。任務”伊利亞特.mb.txt“在我的筆記本上花了4秒鐘。代碼在函數suffix_array和longest_common_substring中有很好的文檔記錄。后一個函數很短，可以很容易地修改，例如搜索10個最長的非重疊子串。如果重復字符串長度超過10000個字符，則此Python代碼比問題中的original C code (copy here)快。from itertools import groupby

This function can be easy modified for any criteria, e.g. for searching ten
longest non overlapping repeated substrings.

與more complicated O(n log n)相比，我更喜歡這種解決方案，因為Python具有非常快速的列表排序(列表.排序)，可能比文章中的方法中必要的線性時間操作快，在非常特殊的隨機字符串和一個小字母表(典型的DNA基因組分析)假設下，應該是O(n)。我在Gog 2011中讀到，我的算法中最糟糕的情況O(n logn)在實踐中可以比許多O(n)算法更快，即不能使用CPU內存緩存。
如果文本包含8kb長的重復字符串，基于grow_chains的另一個答案中的代碼比問題的原始示例慢19倍。長時間重復的文本不是古典文學的典型，但它們經常出現在“獨立”學校的家庭作品集中。程序不應該凍結它。
