  2. Boyer–Moore string-search algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boyer–Moore_string-search...

    The Boyer–Moore algorithm searches for occurrences of P in T by performing explicit character comparisons at different alignments. Instead of a brute-force search of all alignments (of which there are ⁠ n − m + 1 {\displaystyle n-m+1} ⁠ ), Boyer–Moore uses information gained by preprocessing P to skip as many alignments as possible.

  3. String-searching algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/String-searching_algorithm

    A string-searching algorithm, sometimes called string-matching algorithm, is an algorithm that searches a body of text for portions that match by pattern. A basic example of string searching is when the pattern and the searched text are arrays of elements of an alphabet ( finite set ) Σ.

  4. Generalized suffix array - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generalized_suffix_array

    A naive implementation would compute the largest common subsequence of all the strings in the set in (). [ 6 ] A generalized suffix array can be utilized to find the longest previous factor array, a concept central to text compression techniques and in the detection of motifs and repeats [ 7 ]

  5. Knuth–Morris–Pratt algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knuth–Morris–Pratt...

    In computer science, the Knuth–Morris–Pratt algorithm (or KMP algorithm) is a string-searching algorithm that searches for occurrences of a "word" W within a main "text string" S by employing the observation that when a mismatch occurs, the word itself embodies sufficient information to determine where the next match could begin, thus bypassing re-examination of previously matched characters.

  6. Regular expression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regular_expression

    A match is made, not when all the atoms of the string are matched, but rather when all the pattern atoms in the regex have matched. The idea is to make a small pattern of characters stand for a large number of possible strings, rather than compiling a large list of all the literal possibilities.

  7. Rabin–Karp algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rabin–Karp_algorithm

    Generalizations of the same idea can be used to find more than one match of a single pattern, or to find matches for more than one pattern. To find a single match of a single pattern, the expected time of the algorithm is linear in the combined length of the pattern and text, although its worst-case time complexity is the product of the two ...

  8. Suffix tree - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suffix_tree

    The total length of all the strings on all of the edges in the tree is (), but each edge can be stored as the position and length of a substring of S, giving a total space usage of () computer words. The worst-case space usage of a suffix tree is seen with a fibonacci word , giving the full 2 n {\displaystyle 2n} nodes.

  9. Boyer–Moore majority vote algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boyer–Moore_majority_vote...

    In all cases, the loop invariant is maintained. [1] After the entire sequence has been processed, it follows that no element x ≠ m can have a majority, because x can equal at most one element of each unequal pair and none of the remaining c copies of m. Thus, if there is a majority element, it can only be m. [1]
