  2. Approximate string matching - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Approximate_string_matching

    With the availability of large amounts of DNA data, matching of nucleotide sequences has become an important application. [1] Approximate matching is also used in spam filtering. [5] Record linkage is a common application where records from two disparate databases are matched. String matching cannot be used for most binary data, such as images ...

  3. Reverse-search algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reverse-search_algorithm

    Reverse-search algorithms are a class of algorithms for generating all objects of a given size, from certain classes of combinatorial objects.In many cases, these methods allow the objects to be generated in polynomial time per object, using only enough memory to store a constant number of objects (polynomial space).

  4. Associative array - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Associative_array

    Another very simple implementation technique, usable when the keys are restricted to a narrow range, is direct addressing into an array: the value for a given key k is stored at the array cell A[k], or if there is no mapping for k then the cell stores a special sentinel value that indicates the lack of a mapping. This technique is simple and ...

  5. String-searching algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/String-searching_algorithm

    A simple and inefficient way to see where one string occurs inside another is to check at each index, one by one. First, we see if there is a copy of the needle starting at the first character of the haystack; if not, we look to see if there's a copy of the needle starting at the second character of the haystack, and so forth.

    This lookup will return the occurrence of c in P with the next-highest index ⁠ < ⁠ or -1 if there is no such occurrence. The proposed shift will then be ⁠ i − j {\displaystyle i-j} ⁠ , with ⁠ O ( 1 ) {\displaystyle O(1)} ⁠ lookup time and ⁠ O ( k m ) {\displaystyle O(km)} ⁠ space, assuming a finite alphabet of length k .

    To find it, start at such a p 0 containing at least two individuals in their reduced list, and define recursively q i+1 to be the second on p i 's list and p i+1 to be the last on q i+1 's list, until this sequence repeats some p j, at which point a rotation is found: it is the sequence of pairs starting at the first occurrence of (p j, q j ...

  9. Linear probing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_probing

    Linear probing is a component of open addressing schemes for using a hash table to solve the dictionary problem.In the dictionary problem, a data structure should maintain a collection of key–value pairs subject to operations that insert or delete pairs from the collection or that search for the value associated with a given key.
