Abstract: We study the impact of adding certain families of generalized quantifiers to first-order logic (FO) on the asymptotic behavior of sentences. All our results are stated and proved for languages disallowing free variables in the scope of generalized quantifiers. For a class K of finite structures closed under isomorphism, the quantifier QK is said to be strongly monotonic, sm, if membership in the class is preserved under a loose form of extensions. Our first theorem (0/1 law for FO with any set... (Update)

...the cardinality of R is bigger than the cardinality of S. The asymptotic probability of the above query is 1 2 . The result follows from [FGT93], where it is shown that first order sentences with limited Rescher s quantifiers (expressing cardinality comparison) have asymptotic...

...of first order logic by Lindstrom quantifiers. Such extensions were also considered, from the point of view of 0 1 laws by Fayolle et al. [8], where a sufficient condition was established on a quantifier Q, for a restricted fragment of the logic FO[Q] to have a 0 1 law. We...
