First-order logic is known to have limited expressive power over finite structures. It enjoys in particular the locality property, which states that first-order formulae cannot have a global view of a structure. This limitation ensures on…

We use the method of monotone iterations to obtain fixed point and coupled fixed point results for mixed monotone operators in the setting of partially ordered sets, with no additional assumptions on the partial order and with no…

We argue that in some KR applications, we want to quantify over sets of concepts formally represented by symbols in the vocabulary. We show that this quantification should be distinguished from second-order quantification and…
