Binding forms in first-order logic
Published 2015“…Aiming to pinpoint the reasons behind the decidability of some complex extensions of modal logic, we propose a new classification criterion for sentences of first-order logic, which is based on the kind of binding forms admitted in their expressions, i.e., on the way the arguments of a relation can be bound to a variable. …”

Relating Z and first-order logic
Published 2000“…Despite being widely regarded as a gloss on first-order logic and set theory, Z has not been found to be very supportive of proof. …”

Lindstrom theorems for fragments of first-order logic
Published 2009-08-01“…Most existing characterizations of this kind concern extensions of first-order logic. But on the other hand, many logics relevant to computer science are fragments or extensions of fragments of first-order logic, e.g., k-variable logics and various modal logics. …”

The succinctness of first-order logic on linear orders
Published 2005-06-01“…Our first theorem is concerned with the finite variable fragments of first-order logic. We prove that: (i) Up to a polynomial factor, the 2- and the 3-variable fragments of first-order logic on linear orders have the same succinctness. …”

Successor-Invariant First-Order Logic on Classes of Bounded Degree
Published 2021-08-01“…We study the expressive power of successor-invariant first-order logic, which is an extension of first-order logic where the usage of an additional successor relation on the structure is allowed, as long as the validity of formulas is independent of the choice of a particular successor on finite structures. …”
