چکیده
For any fixed positive integer k , let α denote the smallest ∈ (0,1) such that random graph sequence { G ( n, n -α )} does not satisfy zero-one law for set ε of all existential first-order sentences are quantifier depth at most . This article finds upper and lower bounds on showing as → ∞, we have = - 2 t )) -1 some function ) Θ -2 ). We also establish precise value when 4.

Slicewise Definability in First-Order Logic with Bounded Quantifier Rank
Abstract For every q ∈ N let FOq denote the class of sentences of first-order logic FO of quantifier rank at most q. If a graph property can be defined in FOq, then it can be decided in time O(n). Thus, minimizing q has favorable algorithmic consequences. Many graph properties amount to the existence of a certain set of vertices of size k. Usually this can only be expressed by a sentence of qua...
متن کاملApproximating Resultants of Existential Second-Order Quantifier Elimination upon Universal Relational First-Order Formulas
We investigate second-order quantifier elimination for a class of formulas characterized by a restriction on the quantifier prefix: existential predicate quantifiers followed by universal individual quantifiers and a relational matrix. For a given second-order formula of this class a possibly infinite sequence of universal first-order formulas that have increasing strength and are all entailed ...
متن کاملOne quantifier alternation in first-order logic with modular predicates
Adding modular predicates yields a generalization of first-order logic FO over words. The expressive power of FO[<,MOD] with order comparison x < y and predicates for x ≡ i mod n has been investigated by Barrington, Compton, Straubing and Thérien. The study of FO[<,MOD]fragments was initiated by Chaubard, Pin and Straubing. More recently, Dartois and Paperman showed that definability in the two...
متن کاملOn Zero-one Laws
An extension of a topological zero-one law due to M. and K.P.S. Bhaskara Rao and of the Hewitt-Savage zero-one law is presented. In [8] M. and K.P.S. Bhaskara Rao proved the following topological zeroone law, which we shall refer to as the Bhaskara Rao zero-one law. Theorem 1. Let X be a topological space and let $ be a group of homeomorphisms of X onto itself with the property that for any two...
متن کاملOne Quantifier Will Do in Existential Monadic Second-Order Logic over Pictures
We show that every formula of the existential fragment of monadic second-order logic over picture models (i.e., nite, two-dimensional , coloured grids) is equivalent to one with only one existential monadic quantiier. The corresponding claim is true for the class of word models ((Tho82]) but not for the class of graphs ((Ott95]). The class of picture models is of particular interest because it ...
