We propose an algorithm which is an improved version of the Kabatiansky-Tavernier list decoding algorithm for the second order binary Reed-Muller code RM(2, m), of length n = 2m , ...
Bounded treewidth and Monadic Second Order (MSO) logic have proved to be key concepts in establishing fixed-parameter tractability results. Indeed, by Courcelle's Theorem we ...
In 1974 R. Fagin proved that properties of structures which are in NP are exactly the same as those expressible by existential second order sentences, that is sentences of the form...
We consider the decision problem for cases of first-order temporal logic with function symbols and without equality. The monadic monodic fragment with flexible functions can be dec...
This paper shows that satisfiability for Propositional Dynamic Logic with Intersection is EXPSPACE-hard. The proof uses a reduction from the word problem for alternating, exponent...
