Abstract

The aim of this survey is to provide insight into the sequential algorithms that have been proposed to compute exact ''regularities'' in strings; that is, covers (or quasiperiods), seeds, repetitions, runs (or maximal periodicities), and repeats. After outlining and evaluating the algorithms that have been proposed for their computation, I suggest possibly productive future directions of research.
