Abstract

We give an O(|T|3) algorithm for testing the Church-Rosser property of Thue systems using the linear string-matching algorithm by Knuth, Morris and Pratt (1977). This improves the earlier bound of O(|T|6) given by Book and O'Dunlaing (1981). The proposed algorithm uses a reduction algorithm for finding a normal form of a string which is based on building a trie for matching a finite set of patterns, as proposed by Aho and Corasick (1975).
