Incremental construction of Minimal Tree Automata [online]
PublicationWe describe an algorithm that allows the incremental addition or removal of unranked ordered trees to minimal frontier-to-root deterministic tree automaton (DTA). The algorithm takes a tree t and a minimal DTA A as input; it outputs a minimal DTA A' which accepts the language L(A) accepted by A incremented (or decremented) with the tree t. The algorithm can be used to efficiently maintain dictionaries which store large collections...
