Since the early Sixties and Seventies it has been known that the regular and context-free languages arc characterized by definability in the monadic second-order theory of certain...
When describing the resource usage of a program, it is usual to talk in asymptotic terms, such as the well-known “big O” notation, whereby we focus on the behaviour of the prog...

We study (collapsible) higher-order pushdown systems -- theoretically robust and well-studied models of higher-order programs -- along with their natural subclass called (collapsi...
We propose a new framework for discussing computational complexity of problems involving uncountably many objects, such as real numbers, sets and functions, that can be represente...
XML specifications often consist of a type definition (typically, a DTD) and a set of integrity constraints. It has been shown previously that such specifications can be inconsiste...
