Characterizing Second Order Logic with First Order Quantifiers

A language Q is defined and given semantics, the formulae of which are quantifier-free first-order matrices prefixed by combinations of finite partially ordered first-order quantifiers. It is shown that Q is equivalent in expressive power to second order logic by establishing the equivalence of alte...
