A linear time string matching algorithm on average with efficient text storage
| Abstract: |
| In this paper we describe an algorithm to search for a pattern in an efficiently stored text. The method used to store the text tranforms it to log2(s)/8 of its original size, where s is the size of the alphabet set. We prove that the algorithm takes linear time on average. We compare the new algorithm with some existing string matching algorithms by experimentation. |
