These extended games ....

Let Tr be this translation. The important cases are the fixed points: Tr(Z: Phi) 9Z: Z 2(Z Tr( Phi) and Tr(Z: Phi) 8Z: 2(Tr( Phi) Z) Z) 2 When ....

Directions In Generalized Quantifier Theory - van Benthem, Westerståhl (1994)   (Correct)

.... search for a logical characterization for polynomial time computability (PTIME) If we consider models with a given ordering then fixed point logic, FP, provides such a characterization: a property P of finite ordered structures is computable in polynomial time if and only if P is definable in FP (Immermann 1986, Vardi 1982) However, in the general case where the existence of a linear order is not assumed, this characterization fails badly. Indeed the above mentioned quantifier hierarchy result of Hella 1992 implies that there exists no finite set Q of quantifiers such that FP(Q) would characterize all ....

Model Checking and Other Games - Stirling (1996)   (1 citation)  (Correct)

....that there is a full alternation depth hierarchy of expressiveness using methods from descriptive set theory [5] Proposition 2 For all n 0, adn ae ad n 1 . This should be contrasted with first order logic and fixed points, FP, over finite models where there is no hierarchy of expressiveness [19]. However this collapse is achieved by increasing the arity of the fixed points. Thus an interesting question is whether there is a hierarchy in the case of FP k , the bounded variable version of FP where all individual variables in any formula are drawn from the set fx 1 ; x k g [35] ....
