We give a new proof showing that it is not possible to define in monadic second-order logic (MSO) a choice function on the infinite binary tree. This result was first obtained by G...
An infinite binary word can be identified with a branch in the full binary tree. We consider sets of branches definable in monadic second-order logic over the tree, where we allow ...

This paper focuses on first-order logic (FO) extended by reachability predicates such that the expressiveness and hence decidability properties lie between FO and monadic second-o...
We present a new algorithm for model-checking weak monadic second-order logic on inductive structures, a class of structures of bounded clique width. Our algorithm directly manipul...
Maximal elements of a binary relation on compact subsets of a metric space define a choice function. An infinite extension of transitivity is necessary and sufficient for such a c...
