Abstract: Compact directed acyclic word graphs (CDAWGs) [Blumer et al. 1987] are a fundamental data structure on strings with applications in text pattern searching, data compression, and pattern discovery. Intuitively, the CDAWG of a string T is obtained by merging isomorphic subtrees of the suffix tree [Weiner 1973] of the same string T, thus CDAWGs are a compact indexing structure. In this paper, we investigate the sensitivity of CDAWGs when a single character edit operation (insertion, deletion, or substitution) is performed at the left-end of the input string T, namely, we are interested in the worst-case increase in the size of the CDAWG after a left-end edit operation. We prove that if e is the number of edges of the CDAWG for string T, then the number of new edges added to the CDAWG after a left-end edit operation on T is less than e. Further, we present almost matching lower bounds on the sensitivity of CDAWGs for all cases of insertion, deletion, and substitution.
