In computer science, the Knuth–Morris–Pratt algorithm (or KMP algorithm) is a string-searching algorithm that searches for occurrences of a "word" W within a main "text string" S by employing the observation that when a mismatch occurs, the word itself embodies sufficient information to determine where the next match could begin, thus bypassing re-examination of previously matched characters.
In computer science, the two-way string-matching algorithm is a string-searching algorithm, discovered by Maxime Crochemore and Dominique Perrin in 1991. [1] It takes a pattern of size m, called a “needle”, preprocesses it in linear time O(m), producing information that can then be used to search for the needle in any “haystack” string, taking only linear time O(n) with n being the ...
An efficient algorithm was proposed by Booth (1980). [2] The algorithm uses a modified preprocessing function from the Knuth–Morris–Pratt string search algorithm. The failure function for the string is computed as normal, but the string is rotated during the computation so some indices must be computed more than once as they wrap around.
He was a co-discoverer of the Knuth–Morris–Pratt algorithm for string-search. [2] For eight years, he worked at the Xerox PARC (Palo Alto Research Center), where he was part of the team that developed the Xerox Alto System. [2] He also directed the Cedar programming environment project. [2]
In computer science, Thompson's construction algorithm, also called the McNaughton–Yamada–Thompson algorithm, [1] is a method of transforming a regular expression into an equivalent nondeterministic finite automaton (NFA). [2] This NFA can be used to match strings against the regular expression. This algorithm is credited to Ken Thompson.
For example, suppose algorithm A runs in time t A (x) on input x and algorithm B runs in time t A (x) 2 on input x; that is, B is quadratically slower than A. Intuitively, any definition of average-case efficiency should capture the idea that A is efficient-on-average if and only if B is efficient on-average.

Knuth showed that Algorithm X can be implemented efficiently on a computer using dancing links in a process Knuth calls "DLX". DLX uses the matrix representation of the exact cover problem, implemented as doubly linked lists of the 1s of the matrix: each 1 element has a link to the next 1 above, below, to the left, and to the right of itself.
