A class of relational structures is said to have the extension preservation property if every first-order sentence that is preserved under extensions on the class is equivalent t...
Unions of conjunctive queries, also known as select-project-join-union queries, are the most frequently asked queries in relational database systems. These queries are definable b...
Abstract. Logic preservation theorems often have the form of a syntax/semantics correspondence. For example, the Los-Tarski theorem asserts that a rst-order sentence is preserved b...
In this paper we develop a theoretical analysis of the performance of sampling-based fitted value iteration (FVI) to solve infinite state-space, discounted-reward Markovian decisi...
Locality is a standard notion of finite model theory. There are two well known flavors of it, based on Hanf's and Gaifman's theorems. Essentially they say that structure...
