EF+EX Forest Algebras
Andreas Krebs, Howard Straubing
We examine languages of unranked forests definable using the temporal operators EF and EX. We characterize the languages definable in this logic, and various fragments thereof, usi…

An effective characterization of the alternation hierarchy in two-variable logic
Andreas Krebs, Howard Straubing
We characterize the languages in the individual levels of the quantifier alternation hierarchy of first-order logic with two variables by identities. This implies decidability of t…
