Expressing Cardinality Quantifiers in Monadic Second-Order Logic over Trees
We study an extension of monadic second-order logic of order with the uncountability quantifier "there exist uncountably many sets". We prove that, over the class of fini...

On the Borel Complexity of MSO Definable Sets of Branches
An infinite binary word can be identified with a branch in the full binary tree. We consider sets of branches definable in monadic second-order logic over the tree, where we allow ...

Counting and Enumeration Problems with Bounded Treewidth
By Courcelle's Theorem we know that any property of finite structures definable in monadic second-order logic (MSO) becomes tractable over structures with bounded treewidth. T...

Monadic second-order logic on tree-like structures
An operation M which constructs from a given structure M a tree-like structure whose domain consists of the finite sequences of elements of M is considered. A notion of automata r...

Deciding low levels of tree-automata hierarchy
The paper discusses the hierarchy of indices of finite automata over infinite objects. This hierarchy corresponds exactly to the hierarchy of alternations of least and greatest fi...

The complexity of first-order and monadic second-order logic revisited
The model-checking problem for a logic L on a class C of structures asks whether a given L-sentence holds in a given structure in C. In this paper, we give super-exponential lower...

Vertex-minors, monadic second-order logic, and a conjecture by Seese
We prove that one can express the vertex-minor relation on finite undirected graphs by formulas of monadic second-order logic (with no edge set quantification) extended with a p...

Logic, Graphs, and Algorithms
Algorithmic meta theorems are algorithmic results that apply to whole families of combinatorial problems, instead of just specific problems. These families are usually defined i...

Inessential Features, Ineliminable Features, and Modal Logics for Model Theoretic Syntax
While monadic second-order logic (MSO) has played a prominent role in model theoretic syntax, modal logics have been used in this context since its inception. When comparing propos...
