Derivatives of Parsing Expression Grammars

This paper introduces a new derivative parsing algorithm for recognition of parsing expression grammars. Derivative parsing is shown to have a polynomial worst-case time bound, an improvement on the exponential bound of the recursive descent algorithm. This work also introduces asymptotic analysis b...
