Matching patterns of an automaton

Abstract

We present an algorithm permitting to search in a text for the patterns of a regular set. Unlike many classical algorithms, we shall assume that the input of the algorithm is a deterministic automaton and not a regular expression. Our algorithm is based on the notion of failure function and mainly consists in efficiently constructing a new deterministic automaton. This construction is shown to be more efficient both in time and space than naive algorithms such as the powerset algorithm used for determinization. In particular, its space complexity is linear in the size of the obtained automaton.
