On the cyclic regularities of strings

Regularities in strings are often related to periods and covers, which have extensively been studied, and algorithms for their efficient computation have broad application. In this paper we concentrate on computing cyclic regularities of strings, in particular, we propose several efficient algorithms for computing: (i) cyclic periodicity; (ii) all cyclic periodicity; (iii) maximal local cyclic periodicity; (iv) cyclic covers.
