In [[computer science]], a '''suffix automaton''' is an efficient [[data structure]] for representing [[substring index]] of a given string which allows to store, process and retrieve compressed information about all its [[substring]]s. The suffix automaton of a string <math>S</math> may beis represented asby a [[directed acyclic graph]] with a dedicated initial vertex and a set of "final" vertices, such that:
 
# Its [[Arc (graph theory)|arcs]] are tagged with [[Character (computing)|letters]];
