....MSO; however, none of these properties is expressible in ESO(9 ) even in presence of a successor [13] Therefore, ESO(9 ) and MSO have different expressive power over ordered graphs. Further relevant discussions of ESO and MSO fragments over graphs and general structures can be found in [9, 47, 48, 43, 10]. To the best of our best knowledge, there has been no previous characterization of the regular languages by nonmonadic fragments of ESO. However, many papers cover either extensions or restrictions of MSO or REG. Lynch [34] for example, has studied the logic over strings obtained from ....

....in the introduction. Beyond Sigma 1 1 , Lacoste observed that SO(9 ) has a 0 1 law: this follows from the fact that every sentence in SO(9 ) defines a class that is closed under extensions. It is well known that SO(9 ) has the finite model property; more recently it was shown in [8] that its satisfiability problem is decidable. Because a sentence in SO(9 ) has probability one iff it has a finite model, together these results also imply the decidability of the almost sure theory of SO(9 ) ....
