Adaptive dictionary matching
Amihood Amir, Martı́n Farach-Colton · 2002
Semiadaptive and fully adaptive dictionary matching algorithms are presented. In the fully adaptive algorithm, the dictionary is processed in time O( mod D mod log mod D mod ). Inserting a new pattern P/sub k+1/ into the dictionary can be done in time O mod P/sub K+1/ mod log mod D mod ). A dictionary pattern can be deleted in time O(log mod D mod ). Text scanning is accomplished in time O( mod T mod log mod D mod ). Also presented is a parallel version of the algorithm with optimal speedup for the dictionary construction and pattern addition phase and a logarithmic overhead in the text scan phase. The method used incorporates a new way of using suffix trees as well as a new data structure in which the suffix tree is embedded for the sequential algorithm.>
