## External Papers

* [A Taxonomy of Suffix Array Construction Algorithms](http://www.cas.mcmaster.ca/~bill/best/algorithms/07Taxonomy.pdf)
    - A great introduction to
      [suffix arrays](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suffix_array), but
      also a survey paper that is more than the sum of its citations,
      clarifying the presentation of all the algorithms with a
      unifying framework.

* [Fast String Searching](http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/download?doi=10.1.1.13.9460&rep=rep1&type=pdf)
    - This paper describes techniques to improve the performance of the [Boyer–Moore string search algorithm](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boyer%E2%80%93Moore_string_search_algorithm).
