On-line construction of a small automaton for a finite set of words
| Abstract: | 
| In this paper we describe a ``light'' algorithm for the on-line construction of a small automaton recognising a finite set of words. The algorithm runs in linear time. We carried out good experimental results on the suffixes of a text, showing how this automaton is small. For the suffixes of a text, we propose a modified construction that leads to an even smaller automaton. |
