Example 12. The string v = 48348 3 is legal. We have dom(v) ={3, 4, 8}, and<br />

hence vmin =3andvmax =8. ✷<br />

Lemma 1. Let u be a realistic legal string with dom(u) =[2,κ], andletv be a<br />

legal substring <strong>of</strong> u. Then either dom(v) =[p, q] or dom(v) =[2,κ] \ [p, q], for<br />

some p and q with p ≤ q.<br />

Pro<strong>of</strong>. Let u = u1vu2 - without loss <strong>of</strong> generality we can assume that u1 and u2<br />

are not both empty strings.<br />

(a) Assume that there exists a pointer p with vmin
