Tree Languages Defined in First-Order Logic with One Quantifier Alternation

Mikolaj Bojanczyk ; Luc Segoufin.
We study tree languages that can be defined in \Delta_2 . These are tree languages definable by a first-order formula whose quantifier prefix is forall exists, and simultaneously by a first-order formula whose quantifier prefix is . For the quantifier free part we consider two signatures, either the […]

Two-Way Unary Temporal Logic over Trees

Mikolaj Bojanczyk.
We consider a temporal logic EF+F^-1 for unranked, unordered finite trees. The logic has two operators: EF\phi, which says "in some proper descendant \phi holds", and F^-1\phi, which says "in some proper ancestor \phi holds". We present an algorithm for deciding if a regular language of unranked […]
