A formalism for expressing the operational semantics of proof languages used in procedural theorem provers is proposed. It is argued that this formalism provides an elegant way to...
A fundamental result of Büchi states that the set of monadic second-order formulas true in the structure (Nat, <) is decidable. A natural question is: what monadic predicates ...
Monads can be used to model term rewriting systems by generalising the well-known equivalence between universal algebra and monads on the category Set. In [L¨u96], this semantics ...
We survey two basic techniques for showing that the monadic second-order theory of a structure is decidable. In the first approach, one deals with finite fragments of the theory (g...
