Abstract

We consider the following problem:

Instance: a finite alphabet A, a biprefix code X={x,y} whose elements are primitive, weA*.

Question: find every maximal factors of w which are prefixes of a word of X*.

We present an algorithm which solves the problem in time linear of the length of w, after a preprocessing phase applied to the set X.
