Marx and de Rijke have shown that the navigational core of the w3c XML query language XPath is not first-order complete ? that is it cannot express every query definable in firsto...
The application of model-checking tools to complex systems involves a nontrivial step of modelling the system by a finite-state model and a translation of the desired properties i...
We describe a new algorithm for proving temporal properties expressed in LTL of infinite-state programs. Our approach takes advantage of the fact that LTL properties can often be...
In this article, we study parameterized complexity theory from the perspective of logic, or more specifically, descriptive complexity theory. We propose to consider parameterized ...
In a seminal paper from 1985, Sistla and Clarke showed that the model-checking problem for Linear Temporal Logic (LTL) is either NP-complete or PSPACE-complete, depending on the se...
