This paper is a survey of results on finite variable logics in finite model theory. It focusses on the common underlying techniques that unite many such results.

Theories of orders on the set of words

Dietrich Kuske (2006)

RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications - Informatique Théorique et Applications

Similarity:

It is shown that small fragments of the first-order theory of the subword order, the (partial) lexicographic path ordering on words, the homomorphism preorder, and the infix order are undecidable. This is in contrast to the decidability of the monadic second-order theory of the prefix order [M.O. Rabin, Trans. Amer. Math. Soc., 1969] and of the theory of the total lexicographic path ordering [P. Narendran and M. Rusinowitch, Lect. Notes Artificial Intelligence, 2000] and, in case of...
