Fast Multiple Order-Preserving Matching Algorithms

Given a text $T$ and a pattern $P$, the order-preserving matching problem is to find all substrings in $T$ which have the same relative orders as $P$. Order-preserving matching has been an active research area since it was introduced by Kubica et al. \cite{kubica2013linear} and Kim et al. \cite{kim2014order}. In this paper we present two algorithms for the multiple order-preserving matching problem, one of which runs in sublinear time on average and the other in linear time on average. Both algorithms run much faster than the previous algorithms.
