The nominal approach to abstract syntax deals with the issues of bound names and α-equivalence by considering constructions and properties that are invariant with respect to permu...
We give two sufficient conditions on XPath like languages for having first order expressivity, meaning that every first order definable set of paths in an ordered node-labeled t...
We introduce tree-width for first order formulae , fotw(). We show that computing fotw is fixed-parameter tractable with parameter fotw. Moreover, we show that on classes of formul...
Context trees are a popular and effective tool for tasks such as compression, sequential prediction, and language modeling. We present an algebraic perspective of context trees for...

This paper presents the rst approximation method of the nite-failure set of a logic program by set-based analysis. In a dual view, the method yields a type analysis for programs wi...
