  • Abstract
    A simplified version of Aho and Ullman´s algorithm [1] is presented for the elimination of unit productions of the form A::= B from LR(k) parsers. The algorithm does not eliminate all such unit productions, but it is applicable in practical instances not handled by Aho and Ullman´s technique.
