Deterministic Regular Expressions with Back-References

pdf-format:
LIPIcs-STACS-2017-33.pdf (0.6 MB)

Abstract

Most modern libraries for regular expression matching allow back-references (i.e. repetition operators) that substantially increase expressive power, but also lead to intractability. In order to find a better balance between expressiveness and tractability, we combine these with the notion of determinism for regular expressions used in XML DTDs and XML Schema. This includes the definition of a suitable automaton model, and a generalization of the Glushkov construction.
