\begin{abstract}
Brzozowski introduced the notion of derivatives for regular
expressions. They can be used for a very simple regular expression
matching algorithm.  Sulzmann and Lu cleverly extended this algorithm
in order to deal with POSIX matching, which is the underlying
disambiguation strategy for regular expressions needed in lexers.  In
the first part of this paper we give our inductive definition of what
a POSIX value is and show $(i)$ that such a value is unique (for given
regular expression and string being matched) and $(ii)$ that Sulzmann
and Lu's algorithm always generates such a value (provided that the
regular expression matches the string). We also prove the correctness
of an optimised version of the POSIX matching algorithm.  In the
second part we show that $(iii)$ our inductive definition of a POSIX
value is equivalent to an alternative definition by Okui and Suzuki
which identifies POSIX values as least elements according to an
ordering of values. \smallskip
