Abstract

We present a new simple algorithm that constructs an Aho Corasick automaton for a set of patterns, P, of total length n, in O(n) time and space for integer alphabets. Processing a text of size m over an alphabet ∑ with the automaton costs 0(m log |∑| + k), where there are k occurrences of patterns in the text.
