چکیده

A class K of structures is controlled if for all cardinals λ, the relation of L∞,λ-equivalence partitions K into a set of equivalence classes (as opposed to a proper class). We prove that no pseudo-elementary class with the independence property is controlled. By contrast, there is a pseudo-elementary class with the strict order property that is controlled (see [4]).

The Karp complexity of unstable classes

A class K of structures is controlled if, for all cardinals λ, the relation of L∞,λ-equivalence partitions K into a set of equivalence classes (as opposed to a proper class). We prove that the class of doubly transitive linear orders is controlled, while any pseudo-elementary class with the ω-independence property is not controlled.

Disjunctions, Independence, Reenements

An important question in constraint satisfaction is how to restrict the problem to ensure tractability (since the general problem is NP-hard). The use of disjunctions has proven to be a useful method for constructing tractable constraint classes from existing classes; the well-known`max-closed' and`ORD-Horn' constraints are examples of tractable classes that can be constructed this way. Three s...

Exploring Relationships Between Field (In)dependence, Multiple Intelligences, and L2 Reading Performance Among Iranian L2 Learners

L2 learners’ individual differences are crucial factors that deserve attention in L2 education. Focusing on 2 main areas of individual differences (i.e., field (in)dependence and multiple intelligences), this study explored their relationships with L2 reading performance. Participants were 64 TEFL undergraduates and postgraduates. To assess the participats’ degree of field (in)dependence and mu...

Logarithmic Advice Classes

Karp and Lipton [11] introduced the notion of non-uniform complexity classes where a certain amount of additional information, the advice, is given for free. The advice only depends on the length of the input. Karp and Lipton initiated the study of classes with either logarithmic or polynomial advice; however later researchers [24, 19, 2, 14] concentrated on the study of classes of the form C/p...

Re nements and Independence : A SimpleMethod for Identifying

The constraint satisfaction problem provides a natural framework for expressing many combinatorial problems. Since the general problem is NP-hard, an important question is how to restrict the problem to ensure tractability. The concept of independence has proven to be a useful method for constructing tractable constraint classes from existing classes. Since checking the independence property ma...
