Comparing the succinctness of monadic query languages over finite trees

Martin Grohe, Nicole Schweikardt (2010)

RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications

Similarity:

We study the of monadic second-order logic and a variety of monadic fixed point logics on trees. All these languages are known to have the same expressive power on trees, but some can express the same queries much more succinctly than others. For example, we show that, under some complexity theoretic assumption, monadic second-order logic is non-elementarily more succinct than monadic least fixed point logic, which in turn is non-elementarily more succinct than monadic datalog.

A reduction-based theorem prover for 3-valued logic.

Gabriel Aguilera Venegas, Inmaculada Pérez de Guzmán, Manuel Ojeda Aciego (1997)

Mathware and Soft Computing

Similarity:

We present a new prover for propositional 3-valued logics, TAS-M3, which is an extension of the TAS-D prover for classical propositional logic. TAS-M3 uses the TAS methodology and, consequently, it is a reduction-based method. Thus, its power is based on the reductions of the size of the formula executed by the F transformation. This transformation dynamically filters the information contained in the syntactic structure of the formula to avoid as much distributions as possible, in order...
