Constructing a of Single State Parsing Automaton  

Lee, Gyung-Ok (한신대학교 정보통신학과)
Abstract
A general automaton allows multiple input transitions, so a special treatment is required when the history of transitions is needed. An LR automaton keeps the past transitions in the stack to use them during parsing. On the other hand, when each state in an automaton contains in itself the past transition history, the trace overhead of past transitions is unnecessary. The paper suggests a single state parsing automaton that does not depend on the past transitions. The applicable grammar class is less than LR grammars, but each state in a new automaton contains the past information, so the tracing of the history is not required compared to LR automaton.
