Potential Business Impact:

Finds patterns in repeating text faster.

Suffixient sets are a novel combinatorial object that capture the essential information of repetitive strings in a way that, provided with a random-access mechanism, supports various forms of pattern matching. In this paper we study the size $\chi$ of the smallest suffixient set as a repetitiveness measure: we place it between known measures and study its sensitivity to various string operations.
