Abstract

We investigate the problem of finding monoids that recognize languages of the form L$_1$⋈$_T$L$_2$ where T is an arbitrary set of routes. We present a uniform method based on routes to find such monoids. Many classical operations from the theory of formal languages, such as catenation, bi-catenation, simple splicing, shuffle, literal shuffle, and insertion are shown to be just particular instances of the operation ⋈$_T$.
