Map Genus, Forbidden Maps, and Monadic Second-Order Logic
A map is a graph equipped with a circular order of edges around each vertex. These circular orders represent local planar embeddings. The genus of a map is the minimal genus of an...

On the Parameterised Intractability of Monadic Second-Order Logic
One of Courcelle’s celebrated results states that if C is a class of graphs of bounded tree-width, then model-checking for monadic second order logic (MSO2) is fixed-parameter t...

Representability in Second-Order Propositional Poly-Modal Logic
A propositional system of modal logic is second-order if it contains quantifiers p and p, which, in the standard interpretation, are construed as ranging over sets of possible worl...

Circle graphs and monadic second-order logic
A circle graph is the intersection graph of a set of chords of a circle. If a circle graph is prime for the split (or join) decomposition defined by Cunnigham, it has a unique rep...

The monadic second-order logic of graphs XVI : Canonical graph decompositions
This article establishes that the split decomposition of graphs introduced by Cunnigham, is definable in Monadic Second-Order Logic.This result is actually an instance of a more ge...
