Certified Bit-Coded Regular Expression Parsing The document describes a certified algorithm for parsing regular expressions using bit-coded parse trees. It defines semantics and parse trees for regular expressions, shows how to relate parse trees to bit-codes, and proves properties about the relation between regular expressions and their bit-coded representations. The algorithm uses derivatives to implement prefix and substring matching and is included in a regular expression search tool developed in Agda. Experimental results are presented along with plans for future work.
