This document summarizes research presented at the 24th Annual Symposium on Combinatorial Pattern Matching. It discusses three open problems in optimally encoding Straight Line Programs (SLPs), which are compressed representations of strings. The document presents information theoretic lower bounds on SLP size and describes novel techniques for building optimal encodings of SLPs in close to minimal space. It also proposes a space-efficient data structure for the reverse dictionary of an SLP.
