In this paper an algorithm is presented that makes use of prefix tree toimplement the deformed fuzzy automata. Threshold values for the fuzzy transition functions are also used to calculate the membership values which improve the efficiency of the proposed algorithm. %K Deformed fuzzy automata %K prefix tree %K leftmost-child right-sibling representation %K t-norm and tconorm operators. %U http://www.ijcse.com/docs/INDJCSE12-03-04-202.pdf
