We establish that the decidability of the first order theory of a class of finite structures ¢ is a simple and useful condition for guaranteeing that the expressive power of FO...
We prove that there exists an O(log(n))-labeling scheme for every first-order formula with free set variables in every class of graphs that is nicely locally cwd-decomposable, whic...

Abstract. In property testing, the goal is to distinguish between structures that have some desired property and those that are far from having the property, after examining only a...
Abstract. Database design aims to find a database schema that permits the efficient processing of common types of queries and updates on future database instances. Full first-ord...
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...
