Abstract:

This paper is concerned with the expressive power of Parikh's Game Logic interpreted in Kripke structures. We show that the syntactical alternation hierarchy of this logic is strict, by expressing the winning condition for parity games with n priorities. Moreover, it follows that Game Logic is not captured by any nite level of the -calculus alternation hierarchy. We can further conclude that model checking for the -calculus is eciently solvable i this is possible for Game Logic. 1
