We introduce fixpoint definitions, a rule-based reformulation of fixpoint constructs. The logic FO(FD), an extension of classical logic with fixpoint definitions, is defined. We illustrate the relation between FO(FD) and FO(ID), which is…

The data-complexity of both satisfiability and finite satisfiability for the two-variable fragment with counting is NP-complete; the data-complexity of both query-answering and finite query-answering for the two-variable guarded fragment…

We define the class of explorable automata on finite or infinite words. This is a generalization of History-Deterministic (HD) automata, where this time non-deterministic choices can be resolved by building finitely many simultaneous runs…

In this paper, we present a generalized effective completeness theorem for continuous logic. The primary result is that any continuous theory is satisfied in a structure which admits a presentation of the same Turing degree. It then follows…

Representing time is crucial for cyber-physical systems and has been studied extensively in the Situation Calculus. The most commonly used approach represents time by adding a real-valued fluent $\mathit{time}(a)$ that attaches a time point…

The Equation Problem in finitely presented groups asks if there exists an algorithm which determines in finite amount of time whether any given equation system has a solution or not. We show that the Equation Problem in central extensions…

Metric Temporal Logic (MTL) and Timed Propositional Temporal Logic (TPTL) extend Linear Temporal Logic (LTL) for real-time constraints, with MTL using time-bounded modalities and TPTL employing freeze quantifiers. Satisfiability for both is…

The finite satisfiability problem for the two-variable fragment of first-order logic interpreted over trees was recently shown to be ExpSpace-complete. We consider two extensions of this logic. We show that adding either additional binary…

The study of word equations (or the existential theory of equations over free monoids) is a central topic in mathematics and theoretical computer science. The problem of deciding whether a given word equation has a solution was shown to be…
