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, ...

On the Expressive Power of Monadic Least Fixed Point Logic
Monadic least fixed point logic MLFP is a natural logic whose expressiveness lies between that of first-order logic FO and monadic second-order logic MSO. In this paper we take ...

Expressiveness and complexity of graph logic
We investigate the complexity and expressive power of a spatial logic for reasoning about graphs. This logic was previously introduced by Cardelli, Gardner and Ghelli, and provide...

Decidable Extensions of Church's Problem
Abstract. For a two-variable formula B(X,Y) of Monadic Logic of Order (MLO) the Church Synthesis Problem concerns the existence and construction of a finite-state operator Y=F(X) ...

On the Expressiveness of Linearity vs Persistence in the Asychronous Pi-Calculus
We present an expressiveness study of linearity and persistence of processes. We choose the π-calculus, one of the main representatives of process calculi, as a framework to cond...
