Complexity of the Two-Variable Fragment with (Binary-Coded) Counting Quantifiers

Logic in Computer Science 2024-04-19 v1

Abstract

We show that the satisfiability and finite satisfiability problems for the two-variable fragment of first-order logic with counting quantifiers are both in NEXPTIME, even when counting quantifiers are coded succinctly.
