Algorithms on Strings [Paperback]

Detailed algorithms for string processes and pattern matching have examples from natural language processing, molecular sequencing, and databases.This text and reference on string processes and pattern matching presents examples related to the automatic processing of natural language, to the analysis of molecular sequences and to the management of textual databases. Algorithms are described in a C-like language, with correctness proofs and complexity analysis, to make them ready to implement.This text and reference on string processes and pattern matching presents examples related to the automatic processing of natural language, to the analysis of molecular sequences and to the management of textual databases.
