Abstract

We address a variant of the dictionary matching problem where the dictionary is represented by a straight line program (SLP). For a given SLP-compressed dictionary D of size n and height h representing m patterns of total length N, we present an O(n2log N)-size representation of Aho-Corasick automaton which recognizes all occurrences of the patterns in D in amortized O(h+m) running time per character. We also propose an algorithm to construct this compressed Aho-Corasick automaton in O(n3log n log N) time and O(n2log N) space. In a spacial case where D represents only a single pattern, we present an O(n log N)-size representation of the Morris-Pratt automaton which permits us to find all occurrences of the pattern in amortized O(h) running time per character, and we show how to construct this representation in O(n3log n log N) time with O(n2log N) working space.
