We consider unranked trees, that have become an active subject of study recently due to XML applications, and characterize commonly used fragments of firstorder (FO) and monadic ...
—We use the recently developed theory of forest algebras to find algebraic characterizations of the languages of unranked trees and forests definable in various logics. These i...

Labeled unranked trees are used as a model of XML documents, and logical languages for them have been studied actively over the past several years. Such logics have different purpo...
We study the expressive power of the logics EF + F-1 , 2 and boolean combinations of 1 over ranked trees. In particular, we provide effective characterizations of those three logic...
In this paper, we consider the monadic second order logic (MSO) and two of its extensions, namely Counting MSO (CMSO) and Presburger MSO (PMSO), interpreted over unranked and unord...
