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, ...
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 ...
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...
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) ...
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...
