Undecidability of a weak version of MSO+U

Mikołaj Bojańczyk ; Laure Daviaud ; Bruno Guillon ; Vincent Penelle ; A. V. Sreejith.
We prove the undecidability of MSO on $\omega$-words extended with the second-order predicate $U_1(X)$ which says that the distance between consecutive positions in a set $X \subseteq \mathbb{N}$ is unbounded. This is achieved by showing that adding $U_1$ to MSO gives a logic with the same […]

Optimizing tree decompositions in MSO

Mikołaj Bojańczyk ; Michał Pilipczuk.
The classic algorithm of Bodlaender and Kloks [J. Algorithms, 1996] solves the following problem in linear fixed-parameter time: given a tree decomposition of a graph of (possibly suboptimal) width k, compute an optimum-width tree decomposition of the graph. In this work, we prove that this problem […]
