We investigate the complexity and expressive power of a spatial logic for reasoning about graphs. This logic was previously introduced by Cardelli, Gardner and Ghelli, and provide...
Abstract. The notion of graph polynomials definable in Monadic Second Order Logic, MSOL, was introduced in [Mak04]. It was shown that the Tutte polynomial and its generalization, a...
e data structures are abstractions of simple records and pointers. They impose a shape invariant, which is verified at compiletime and exploited to automatically generate code fo...
It is known that a language is context-free iff it is the set of borders of the trees of recognizable set, where the border of a (labelled) tree is the word consisting of its leaf ...
Many NP-hard problems can be solved efficiently when the input is restricted to graphs of bounded tree-width or clique-width. In particular, by the celebrated result of Courcelle,...
