Abstract

Stringology represents a modern part of the formal language theory, which deals with strings, languages and operations on them. It introduces many new language operations, which can be divided into two groups - insertion and deletion operations. This paper presents these operations and some their properties. Especially, closure properties are studied here. New algorithms that construct finite automata accepting languages resulting from some of these operations are described here. We actually demonstrate by designing these algorithms, that the family of regular languages is closed under these operations.
