On Existentially First-Order Definable Languages and Their Relation to NP

Bernd Borchert, Dietrich Kuske, Frank Stephan (2010)

RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications

Under the assumption that the Polynomial-Time Hierarchy does not collapse we show for a regular language L: the unbalanced polynomial-time leaf language class determined by L equals  iff L is existentially but not quantifierfree definable in FO[<, min, max, +1, −1]. Furthermore, no such class lies properly between NP and co-1-NP or NP⊕co-NP. The proofs rely on a result of Pin and Weil characterizing the automata of existentially first-order definable languages.

On global induction mechanisms in a μ -calculus with explicit approximations

Christoph Sprenger, Mads Dam (2003)

RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications - Informatique Théorique et Applications

We investigate a Gentzen-style proof system for the first-order μ -calculus based on cyclic proofs, produced by unfolding fixed point formulas and detecting repeated proof goals. Our system uses explicit ordinal variables and approximations to support a simple semantic induction discharge condition which ensures the well-foundedness of inductive reasoning. As the main result of this paper we propose a new syntactic discharge condition based on traces and establish its equivalence with the semantic...

On graph products of automatic monoids

A. Veloso Da Costa (2001)

RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications - Informatique Théorique et Applications

The graph product is an operator mixing direct and free products. It is already known that free products and direct products of automatic monoids are automatic. The main aim of this paper is to prove that graph products of automatic monoids of finite geometric type are still automatic. A similar result for prefix-automatic monoids is established.

On hardly linearly provable systems

Jaroslav Morávek (1984)

Aplikace matematiky

A well-known theorem of Rabin yields a dimensional lower bound on the width of complete polynomial proofs of a system of linear algebraic inequalities. In this note we investigate a practically motivated class of systems where the same lower bound can be obtained on the width of almost all (noncomplete) linear proofs. The proof of our result is based on the Helly Theorem.

On hierarchy of the positioned eco-grammar systems

Miroslav Langer (2014)

Kybernetika

Positioned eco-grammar systems (PEG systems, for short) were introduced in our previous papers. In this paper we engage in a new field of research, the hierarchy of PEG systems, namely in the hierarchy of the PEG systems according to the number of agents presented in the environment and according to the number of types of agents in the system.
