For a path system P=(x,R,S,T), where S⊆ X, T ⊆ X, and R⊆ X × X × X, the problem of whether there is an admissible vertex in S. A vertex is admissible if and only if x∈ T, or there exists admissible y, z ∈ X such that (x,y,z) ∈ R.

For any set H of n hyperplanes in R<sup>k</sup>, and any parameter r, 1 ≤ r≤ n, there always exists a (1/r)-cutting of size O(r<sup>k</sup>). In two dimensions, a (1/r)-cutting of size s is a partition of the plane into s disjoint triangles, some of which are unbounded, such that no triangle in the partition intersects more than n/r lines in H. In R<sup>k</sup>, triangles are replaced by simplices. Such a cutting can be computed in O(nr<sup>k-1</sup>) time.

For each position in a string, the inverse suffix array has its index in the string's suffix array. Formal Definition: Given a suffix array, sa, and the corresponding inverse suffix array, isa, isa(i) = j iff sa(j) = i.
