Separating Graph Logic from MSO
Abstract. Graph logic (GL) is a spatial logic for querying graphs introduced by Cardelli et al. It has been observed that in terms of expressive power, this logic is a fragment of ...

Lower Bounds for the Complexity of Monadic Second-Order Logic
Courcelle's famous theorem from 1990 states that any property of graphs definable in monadic second-order logic (MSO2) can be decided in linear time on any class of graphs of ...

A modal perspective on monadic second-order alternation hierarchies
abstract. We establish that the quantifier alternation hierarchy of formulae of Second-Order Propositional Modal Logic (SOPML) induces an infinite corresponding semantic hierarchy ...

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...

On the Expressive Power of Monadic Least Fixed Point Logic
Monadic least fixed point logic MLFP is a natural logic whose expressiveness lies between that of first-order logic FO and monadic second-order logic MSO. In this paper we take ...
