Border Array on Bounded Alphabet

Abstract:
In this article we present an on-line linear time algorithm, to check if an integer array f is a border array of some string x built on a bounded size alphabet. Furthermore if f is a border array we are able to build, on-line and in linear time, a string x on a minimal size alphabet for which f is the border array.
