On the regularity of iterated hairpin completion of a single word
Hairpin completion is an abstract operation modeling a DNA biooperation which receives as input a DNA strand w = xαyα, and outputs w = xαy¯αx, where x denotes the Watson-Cric...

Iterated Hairpin Completions of Non-crossing Words
Abstract. Iterated hairpin completion is an operation on formal languages that is inspired by the hairpin formation in DNA biochemistry. Iterated hairpin completion of a word (or m...

Bounded Hairpin Completion
We consider a restricted variant of the hairpin completion called bounded hairpin completion. The hairpin completion is a formal operation inspired from biochemistry. Applied to a ...

The syntactic monoid of hairpin-free languages
The study of hairpin-free words has been initiated in the context of DNA computing. DNA strands that, theoretically speaking, are finite strings over the alphabet {A, G, C, T} are...

Involutively Bordered Words
In this paper we study a generalization of the classical notions of bordered and unbordered words, motivated by DNA computing. DNA strands can be viewed as finite strings over th...
