On the Strictness of the First-Order Quantifier Structure Hierarchy over Finite Structures
One of the major interests of finite model theory is to separate the expressive power of different logics or fragments of logics. In this paper, we define a variant of EhrenfeuchtF...

Ordered Completion for First-Order Logic Programs on Finite Structures
In this paper, we propose a translation from normal first-order logic programs under the answer set semantics to first-order theories on finite structures. Specifically, we introd...

First-Order Logic vs. Fixed-Point Logic in Finite Set Theory
The ordered conjecture states that least fixed-point logic LFP is strictly more expressive than first-order logic FO on every infinite class of ordered finite structures. It has b...

The Complexity of Positive First-Order Logic without Equality II: The Four-Element Case
We study the complexity of evaluating positive equality-free sentences of first-order (FO) logic over fixed, finite structures B. This may be seen as a natural generalisation of th...

Axiomatic First-Order Probability
Most languages for the Semantic Web have their logical basis in some fragment of first-order logic. Thus, integrating first-order logic with probability is fundamental for represen...
