Multithreaded Sliding Window Approach to Improve Exact Pattern Matching Algorithms

Improved Approach for Exact Pattern Matching

In this research we present Bidirectional exact pattern matching algorithm [20] in detail. Bidirectional (BD) exact pattern matching (EPM) introduced a new idea to compare pattern with Selected Text Window (STW) of text string by using two pointers (right and left) simultaneously in searching phase. In preprocessing phase Bidirectional EPM algorithm improved the shift decision by comparing righ...

Minimal absent words in a sliding window & applications to on-line pattern matching

An absent (or forbidden) word of a word y is a word that does not occur in y. It is then called minimal if all its proper factors occur in y. There exist linear-time and linear-space algorithms for computing all minimal absent words of y (Crochemore et al., 1998, Belazzougui et al., 2013, Barton et al., 2014). Minimal absent words are used for data compression (Crochemore et al., 2000, Ota and ...

Analysis of Fundamental Exact and Inexact Pattern Matching Algorithms

A family of fast exact pattern matching algorithms

A family of comparison-based exact pattern matching algorithms is described. They utilize multi-dimensional arrays in order to process more than one adjacent text window in each iteration of the search cycle. This approach leads to a lower average time complexity by the cost of space. The algorithms of this family perform well for short patterns and middle size alphabets. In such case the shift...

Exact Analysis of Pattern Matching Algorithms with Probabilistic Arithmetic Automata

We propose a framework for the exact probabilistic analysis of window-based pattern matching algorithms, such as Boyer-Moore, Horspool, Backward DAWG Matching, Backward Oracle Matching, and more. In particular, we show how to efficiently obtain the distribution of such an algorithm’s running time cost for any given pattern in a random text model, which can be quite general, from simple uniform ...
