Characterizing Definability of Second-Order Generalized Quantifiers
We study definability of second-order generalized quantifiers. We show that the question whether a second-order generalized quantifier Q1 is definable in terms of another quantifier Q2, the base logic being monadic second-order logic, reduces to the question if a quantifier Q1 is definable in FO(Q2, <,+,×) for certain first-order quantifiers Q1 and Q2. We use our characterization to show new de...
متن کاملCharacterizing quantifier extensions of dependence logic
We characterize the expressive power of extensions of Dependence Logic and Independence Logic by monotone generalized quantifiers in terms of quantifier extensions of existential second-order logic.
متن کاملTowards Elimination of Second-Order Quantifiers in the Separated Fragment
It is a classical result that the monadic fragment of secondorder logic admits elimination of second-order quantifiers. Recently, the separated fragment (SF) of first-order logic has been introduced. SF generalizes the monadic first-order fragment without equality, while preserving decidability of the satisfiability problem. Therefore, it is a natural question to ask whether SF also admits elim...
متن کاملHenkin and Function Quantifiers
Henkin [7] introduced quantifiers which arise when usual (universal and existential) quantifiers are arranged in non-linear order. These quantifiers bre known as partially ordered quantifiers or Henkin quantifiers. Is. was observed already in [7] that languages with these quantifiers are stronger than first-order logic. A result of [ll] shows that even the weakest enkin quantifier has essential...
متن کاملModal Ontology and Generalized Quantifiers
Timothy Williamson has argued that in the debate on modal ontology, the familiar distinction between actualism and possibilism should be replaced by a distinction between positions he calls contingentism and necessitism. He has also argued in favor of necessitism, using results on quantified modal logic with plurally interpreted second-order quantifiers showing that necessitists can draw distin...
