Abstract
Motivated by work on bio-operations on DNA strings, we consider an outfix-guided insertion operation that can be viewed as a generalization of the overlap assembly operation on strings studied previously. As the main result we construct a finite language L such that the outfix-guided insertion closure of L is nonregular. We consider also the closure properties of regular and (deterministic) context-free languages under the outfix-guided insertion operation and decision problems related to outfix-guided insertion. Deciding whether a language recognized by a deterministic finite automaton is closed under outfix-guided insertion can be done in polynomial time.
