First-order queries on classes of structures with bounded expansion

Wojtek Kazana ; Luc Segoufin.

We consider the evaluation of first-order queries over classes of databases with bounded expansion. The notion of bounded expansion is fairly broad and generalizes bounded degree, bounded treewidth and exclusion of at least one minor. It was known that over a class of databases with bounded&nbsp;[&hellip;]

Tameness and the power of programs over monoids in DA

Nathan Grosshans ; Pierre Mckenzie ; Luc Segoufin.

The program-over-monoid model of computation originates with Barrington's proof that the model captures the complexity class $\mathsf{NC^1}$. Here we make progress in understanding the subtleties of the model. First, we identify a new tameness condition on a class of monoids that entails a natural&nbsp;[&hellip;]
