Reachability and the Power of Local Ordering
The L ? = NL question remains one of the major unresolved problems in complexity theory. Both L and NL have logical characterizations as the sets of totally ordered ( ) structures...

An Inflationary Fixed Point Operator in XQuery
ct The backbone of the XML data model, namely ordered, unranked trees, is inherently recursive and it is natural to equip the associated languages with constructs that can query su...

Logics with Rank Operators
—We introduce extensions of first-order logic (FO) and fixed-point logic (FP) with operators that compute the rank of a definable matrix. These operators are generalizations o...

Knowledge Compilation Using Interval Automata and Applications to Planning
Knowledge compilation [6, 5, 14, 8] consists in transforming a problem offline into a form which is tractable online. In this paper, we introduce new structures, based on the notio...

An Algebraic Formulation of Temporal Knowledge for Reasoning about Recurring Events
We formulate an algebra of binary temporal relations between events the number of occurrences of which is unknown, but which are known to recur in time. Ontologically, we view the...
