Abstract: Dominance constraints for finite tree structures are widely used in several areas of computational linguistics including syntax, semantics, and discourse. In this paper, we investigate algorithmic and complexity questions for dominance constraints and their first-order theory. The main result of this paper is that the satisfiability problem of dominance constraints is NP-complete. We present two NP algorithms for solving dominance constraints, which have been implemented in the concurrent... (Update)
