Abstract

We consider word equations with one variable (and arbitrary many appearances of it). A recent technique of recompression, which is applicable to general word equations, is shown to be suitable also in this case. While in general case it is non-deterministic, it determinises in case of one variable and the obtained running time is O(n + #X log n), where #X is the number of appearances of the variable in the equation. This matches the previously-best algorithm due to Dabrowski and Plandowski. Then, using a couple of heuristics as well as more detailed time analysis the running time is lowered to O(n) (in RAM model).
