Courcelle's famous theorem from 1990 states that any property of graphs definable in monadic second-order logic (MSO2) can be decided in linear time on any class of graphs of ...
This tutorial will present an overview of the use of Monadic Second-Order Logic to describe sets of finite graphs and graph transformations, in relation with the notions of tree-w...
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...
Model theoretic syntax is concerned with studying the descriptive complexity of grammar formalisms for natural languages by defining their derivation trees in suitable logical for...
