Reasoning by Dominance in Not-Equals Binary Constraint Networks
Dynamic detection and elimination of symmetry in constraints, is in general a hard task, but in Not-Equals binary constraint networks, the symmetry conditions can be simplified. I...

Linear Constraint Query Languages: Expressive Power and Complexity
We give an AC0 upper bound on the complexity of rst-oder queries over (in nite) databases de ned by restricted linear constraints. This result enables us to deduce the non-expressi...
