Reasoning by Dominance in Not-Equals Binary Constraint Networks
Dynamic detection and elimination of symmetry in constraints, is in general a hard task, but in Not-Equals binary constraint networks, the symmetry conditions can be simplified. I...

Satisfiability of downward XPath with data equality tests
In this work we investigate the satisfiability problem for the logic XPath( , , =), that includes all downward axes as well as equality and inequality tests. We address this probl...

Linear Constraint Query Languages: Expressive Power and Complexity
We give an AC0 upper bound on the complexity of rst-oder queries over (in nite) databases de ned by restricted linear constraints. This result enables us to deduce the non-expressi...

A Formal Calculus for Informal Equality with Binding
Abstract. In informal mathematical usage we often reason using languages with binding. We usually find ourselves placing capture-avoidance constraints on where variables can and c...
