For K and L recognized by nondeterministic IDPDA, with m and with n states, respectively, insertion requires $$mn+2m$$ states, as long as K is well-nested; deletion is representable with 2n states, for well-nested K; square root requires $$n^3-O(n^2)$$ states, for well-nested L; the well-nested subset of the first half is representable with $$2^{O(n^2)}$$ states. Without the well-nestedness constraints, non-closure is established in each case. %G English %Z TC 1 %Z WG 1.2 %2 https://inria.hal.science/hal-01905626/document %2 https://inria.hal.science/hal-01905626/file/470153_1_En_19_Chapter.pdf %L hal-01905626 %U https://inria.hal.science/hal-01905626 %~ IFIP-LNCS %~ IFIP %~ IFIP-TC %~ IFIP-TC1 %~ IFIP-WG %~ IFIP-DCFS %~ IFIP-WG1-2 %~ IFIP-LNCS-10952
