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...
In contrast to the "designer logic" approach, this paper shows how the attribute-value feature structures of unification grammar and constraints on them can be axiomatiz...
Data structures often use an integer variable to keep track of the number of elements they store. An invariant of such data structure is that the value of the integer variable is ...
This communication deals with positive model theory, a non first order model theoretic setting which preserves compactness at the cost of giving up negation. Positive model theory ...
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...
