Ordered Completion for First-Order Logic Programs on Finite Structures
In this paper, we propose a translation from normal first-order logic programs under the answer set semantics to first-order theories on finite structures. Specifically, we introd...

First-Order Logic vs. Fixed-Point Logic in Finite Set Theory
The ordered conjecture states that least fixed-point logic LFP is strictly more expressive than first-order logic FO on every infinite class of ordered finite structures. It has b...
