This paper introduces a new Ehrenfeucht-Fraı̈ssé type game that is played on two classes of models rather than just two models. This game extends and generalizes the known Ajtai-Fagin game to the case when there are several alternating (coloring) moves played in different models. The game allows Duplicator to delay her choices of the models till (practically) the very end of the game, making it ...

We describe our development and use of DescriptiveEnvironment (DE). This is a program to aid researchers in Finite Model Theory and students of logic to automatically generate examples, counterexamples of conjectures, reductions between problems, and visualizations of structures and queries. DescriptiveEnvironment is available for free use under an ISC license at http://www.cs.umass.edu/∼immerm...
