Abstract
Let $w$ be a string of length $n$. The problem of counting factors crossing a position - Problem 64 from the textbook ``125 Problems in Text Algorithms'' [Crochemore, Leqroc, and Rytter, 2021], asks to count the number $\mathcal{C}(w,k)$ (resp. $\mathcal{N}(w,k)$) of distinct substrings in $w$ that have occurrences containing (resp. not containing) a position $k$ in $w$. The solutions provided in their textbook compute $\mathcal{C}(w,k)$ and $\mathcal{N}(w,k)$ in $O(n)$ time for a single position $k$ in $w$, and thus a direct application would require $O(n^2)$ time for all positions $k = 1, \ldots, n$ in $w$. Their solution is designed for constant-size alphabets. In this paper, we present new algorithms which compute $\mathcal{C}(w,k)$ in $O(n)$ total time for general ordered alphabets, and $\mathcal{N}(w,k)$ in $O(n)$ total time for linearly sortable alphabets, for all positions $k = 1, \ldots, n$ in $w$.
