The pattern is said to occur at text position i if the set p[j] is a subset of the set t[i + j - 1], for all j (1 ≤ j≤ m). This is a generalization of the ordinary string matching and can be used for finding matching subtree patterns. In this research, we propose a new algorithm that needs O(n.m) time in the worst case. But its average time complexity is O(n + m.nlog1.5).}, journal = {Journal of Computer Science}, publisher = {Science Publications} }
