Abstract

We present an almost polynomial matching algorithm for regular expressions with extensions like intersection, complement and subtraction which runs in practically applicable time and space, which outperforms any existing methods to the present time and converges to the theoretically known minimal lower bound, thus, making the extended regular expression matching almost practical in the main-stream domain as regular expressions are widely used to the present time and can be used, for instance, in parsing techniques or other well-known problems like matching of high-size input strings in any practical domains to the present time as originally regular expressions were developed to make it possible, it still needs a better approach for extended sub-problem like match with extended operators as intersection, complement and subtraction
