First-Order Logic with Reachability Predicates on Infinite Systems
This paper focuses on first-order logic (FO) extended by reachability predicates such that the expressiveness and hence decidability properties lie between FO and monadic second-o...

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,...

(Meta) Kernelization
Polynomial time preprocessing to reduce instance size is one of the most commonly deployed heuristics to tackle computationally hard problems. In a parameterized problem, every in...

Typestate Checking and Regular Graph Constraints
We introduce regular graph constraints and explore their decidability properties. The motivation for regular graph constraints is 1) type checking of changing types of objects in ...

Canonical Graph Shapes
Abstract. Graphs are an intuitive model for states of a (software) system that include pointer structures — for instance, object-oriented programs. However, a naive encoding resu...
