The proof uses an extension to hypergraphs of the classical notion of a depth-first search spanning tree. Applications are given to the partially open problem of characterizing the classes of graphs (or hypergraphs) having decidable monadic theories, with and without quantifications on sets of edges (or hyperedges).<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":6322,"journal":{"name":"[1993] Proceedings Eighth Annual IEEE Symposium on Logic in Computer Science","volume":"21 1","pages":"179-190"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1993-06-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86987590","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The embeddings considered are such that a database is a lambda -term coding list of tuples and a query is a lambda -term which when applied to the input database normalizes to the output database. In addition, if the query expressed is a PTIME query, then the normal form can be computed in a number of reduction steps polynomial in the size of the input database. It is also shown that, for all PTIME queries, there is such an embedding in the order-three typed lambda -calculus with equality.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":6322,"journal":{"name":"[1993] Proceedings Eighth Annual IEEE Symposium on Logic in Computer Science","volume":"68 1","pages":"332-343"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1993-06-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89331477","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The goal of this paper is to explore the possibility of using a different condition that of coherence which has its origins in topology and logic. In particular, we concentrate on those posets whose principal ideals are algebraic lattices and whose topologies are coherent. These form a cartesian closed category which has fixed points for domain equations. It is shown that a \"universal domain\" exists. Since the construction of this domain seems to be of general significance, a categorical treatment is provided and its relationship to other applications discussed.

We show that if a many-sorted algebraic rewrite system has the Church-Rosser property, then the corresponding higher-order rewrite system which adds simply typed s-reduction has the Church-Rosser property too. This result is relevant to parallel implementations of functional programming languages. We also show that provability in the higher-order equational proof system obtained by adding the simply typed s and η axioms to some many-sorted algebraic proof system is effectively reducible to provability in that algebraic proof system. This effective reduction also establishes transformations between higher-order and algebraic equational proofs, transformations which can be useful in automated deduction.
