Abstract: In computer science, one is interested mainly in finite objects. Insofar as infinite objects are of interest, they must be computable, i.e., recursive, thus admitting an effective finite representation. This leads to the notion of a recursive graph, or, more generally, a recursive structure, model or data base. In this paper we summarize our recent work on recursive structures and data bases, including (i) the high undecidability of many problems on recursive graphs and structures, (ii) a... (Update)

.... Related Work: One motivation of our approach was the study of automatic structures [48, 14] which are a subclass of recursive structures [43], and were introduced as a generalization of automatic groups [30] In an automatic structure M = h i, every predicate in is de nable...

...and thus cannot be used as input for an algorithm. In this context we want to mention a line of research that considers recursive structures [16], i.e. structures where every relation is computable by an algorithm that decides whether or not an input tuple belongs to the...
