Enumerating m-Length Walks in Directed Graphs with Constant Delay

In this paper, we provide a novel enumeration algorithm for the set of all walks of a given length within a directed graph. Our algorithm has worst-case constant delay between outputting succinct representations of such walks, after a preprocessing step requiring linear time relative to the size of the graph. We apply these results to the problem of enumerating succinct representations of the strings of a given length from a prefix-closed regular language (languages accepted by a finite automaton which has final states only).
