  2. 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.

  3. Pattern matching - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pattern_matching

    will match elements such as A[1], A[2], or more generally A[x] where x is any entity. In this case, A is the concrete element, while _ denotes the piece of tree that can be varied. A symbol prepended to _ binds the match to that variable name while a symbol appended to _ restricts the matches to nodes of that symbol.

  4. 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.

    In this example, we will consider a dictionary consisting of the following words: {a, ab, bab, bc, bca, c, caa}. The graph below is the Aho–Corasick data structure constructed from the specified dictionary, with each row in the table representing a node in the trie, with the column path indicating the (unique) sequence of characters from the root to the node.

  6. Gestalt pattern matching - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gestalt_Pattern_Matching

    Gestalt pattern matching, [1] also Ratcliff/Obershelp pattern recognition, [2] is a string-matching algorithm for determining the similarity of two strings. It was developed in 1983 by John W. Ratcliff and John A. Obershelp and published in the Dr. Dobb's Journal in July 1988.

  7. 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.

  8. Rabin–Karp algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rabin–Karp_algorithm

    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 lengths. To find multiple matches, the expected time is linear in the input lengths, plus the combined length of all the matches, which could ...

  9. Longest repeated substring problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Longest_repeated_substring...

    The problem of finding the longest substring with at least occurrences can be solved by first preprocessing the tree to count the number of leaf descendants for each internal node, and then finding the deepest node with at least leaf descendants. To avoid overlapping repeats, you can check that the list of suffix lengths has no consecutive ...
