Cosmological lower bound on the circuit complexity of a small problem in logic
An exponential lower bound on the circuit complexity of deciding the weak monadic second-order theory of one successor (WS1S) is proved. Circuits are built from binary operations, ...

Branch-width, parse trees, and monadic second-order logic for matroids
Abstract. We introduce "matroid parse trees" which, using only a limited amount of information at each node, can build up the vector representations of matroids of bounde...

Linear Time Solvable Optimization Problems on Graphs of Bounded Clique Width
Hierarchical decompositions of graphs are interesting for algorithmic purposes. There are several types of hierarchical decompositions. Tree decompositions are the best known ones....

Some Properties of Query Languages for Bags
In this paper we study the expressive power of query languages for nested bags. We de ne the ambient bag language by generalizing the constructs of the relational language of Brea...

Specification of Logic Programming Languages from Reusable Semantic Building Blocks
We present a Language Prototyping System that facilitates the modular development of interpreters from independent semantic buildks. The abstract syntax is modelled as the fixpoint...
