Abstract: We investigate the expressive power of various extensions of first-order, inductive, and
infinitary logic with counting quantifiers. We consider in particular a LOGSPACE extension
of first-order logic, and a PTIME extension of fixpoint logic with counters. Counting is a
fundamental tool of algorithms. It is essential in the case of unordered structures. Our aim
is to understand the expressive power gained with a limited counting ability. We consider
two problems: (i) unnested counters, and (ii) ... (Update)

.... theory has been to model the impact of counting on a database language by studying extensions of first order logic by counting quantifiers [16] [10] The goal is to characterize the expressive power of various counting languages, and to identify those with and without good...
...study logics that extend first order with a counting mechanism. Typically, this is done by adding counting quantifiers or terms [8, 11, 14, 20, 29]. Several extensions of FO capture familiar complexity classes over finite structures, and most of the capture results assume that...
