New Algorithm for Weak Monadic Second-Order Logic on Inductive Structures
We present a new algorithm for model-checking weak monadic second-order logic on inductive structures, a class of structures of bounded clique width. Our algorithm directly manipul...

The complexity of first-order and monadic second-order logic revisited
The model-checking problem for a logic L on a class C of structures asks whether a given L-sentence holds in a given structure in C. In this paper, we give super-exponential lower...

Cosmological lower bound on the circuit complexity of a small problem in logic
An exponential lower bound on the circuit complexity of deciding the weak monadic second-order theory of one successor (WS1S) is proved. Circuits are built from binary operations, ...

Algorithmic Lower Bounds for Problems Parameterized by Clique-width
Many NP-hard problems can be solved efficiently when the input is restricted to graphs of bounded tree-width or clique-width. In particular, by the celebrated result of Courcelle,...
