Abstract

Suffix tree is a widely studied data structure with a range of applications. Although originally developed for string matching algorithms, it has proved to be useful for implementation of various lossless data compression methods. This interesting fact inspired us to explore the possibilities of creating new data compression methods, based entirely on properties of suffix trees. Resulting from a thorough study of existing suffix tree construction algorithms and their modifications, we propose and evaluate several variants of suffix tree based compression.
