The research was a long time ago. Have a look at the *real*
Aho-Ullman book: "The Theory of Parsing, Translation and Compiling --
Volume II: Compiling" Prentice-Hall (1973). There's a full chapter on
LR table compression. Also see Marc Joliat's PhD thesis from Toronto:
"On the Reduced Matrix Representation of LR(k) Parser Tables,"
CSRG-TR-28 (October, 1973).
