About this Item

Finite model theory can be succinctly described as the study of logics on finite structures. It is an area of research existing between mathematical logic and computer science. This volume presents articles by leading researchers who delivered talks at the 'Workshop on Finite Models and Descriptive Complexity' at Princeton in January 1996.

About this title

Synopsis

Seven proceedings papers from the January 1996 workshop introducing new research in areas connected with finite model theory as it relates to computational complexity, database theory, and combinatorics. The seven papers feature discussions on easier ways to win logical games, the expression of graph properties in some fragments of monadic second-order logic, finite models, automata, circuit complexity, databases and finite-model theory, modal logic, model checking and the Mu-calculus, and algebraic propositional proof systems.
