The Role of Decidability in First Order Separations over Classes of Finite Structures
We establish that the decidability of the first order theory of a class of finite structures ¢ is a simple and useful condition for guaranteeing that the expressive power of FO...

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...

From Separation Logic to First-Order Logic
Separation logic is a spatial logic for reasoning locally about heap structures. A decidable fragment of its assertion language was presented in [1], based on a bounded model prope...

First order properties on nowhere dense structures
A set A of vertices of a graph G is called d-scattered in G if no two d-neighborhoods of (distinct) vertices of A intersect. In other words, A is d-scattered if no two distinct ver...

Ordered Sets in the Calculus of Data Structures
Our goal is to identify families of relations that are useful for reasoning about software. We describe such families using decidable quantifier-free classes of logical constraints...
