Quantifiers Closed Under Partial Polymorphisms

Authors: Anuj Dawar and Lauri Hella

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 288, 32nd EACSL Annual Conference on Computer Science Logic (CSL 2024)

Abstract
We study Lindström quantifiers that satisfy certain closure properties which are motivated by the study of polymorphisms in the context of constraint satisfaction problems (CSP). When the algebra of polymorphisms of a finite structure 𝔅 satisfies certain equations, this gives rise to a natural closure condition on the class of structures that map homomorphically to 𝔅. The collection of quantifiers that satisfy closure conditions arising from a fixed set of equations are rather more general than those arising as CSP. For any such conditions 𝒫, we define a pebble game that delimits the distinguishing power of the infinitary logic with all quantifiers that are 𝒫-closed. We use the pebble game to show that the problem of deciding whether a system of linear equations is solvable in ℤ / 2ℤ is not expressible in the infinitary logic with all quantifiers closed under a near-unanimity condition.

Descriptive Complexity for Distributed Computing with Circuits

Authors: Veeti Ahvonen, Damian Heiman, Lauri Hella, and Antti Kuusisto

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 272, 48th International Symposium on Mathematical Foundations of Computer Science (MFCS 2023)

Abstract
We consider distributed algorithms in the realistic scenario where distributed message passing is operated by circuits. We show that within this setting, modal substitution calculus MSC precisely captures the expressive power of circuits. The result is established via constructing translations that are highly efficient in relation to size. We also observe that the coloring algorithm based on Cole-Vishkin can be specified by logarithmic size programs (and thus also logarithmic size circuits) in the bounded-degree scenario.

The Expressive Power of CSP-Quantifiers

Authors: Lauri Hella

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 252, 31st EACSL Annual Conference on Computer Science Logic (CSL 2023)

Abstract
A generalized quantifier Q_𝒦 is called a CSP-quantifier if its defining class 𝒦 consists of all structures that can be homomorphically mapped to a fixed finite template structure. For all positive integers n ≥ 2 and k, we define a pebble game that characterizes equivalence of structures with respect to the logic L^k_{∞ω}(CSP^+_n), where CSP^+_n is the union of the class Q₁ of all unary quantifiers and the class CSP_n of all CSP-quantifiers with template structures that have at most n elements. Using these games we prove that for every n ≥ 2 there exists a CSP-quantifier with template of size n+1 which is not definable in L^ω_{∞ω}(CSP^+_n). The proof of this result is based on a new variation of the well-known Cai-Fürer-Immerman construction.

Model Checking and Validity in Propositional and Modal Inclusion Logics

Authors: Lauri Hella, Antti Kuusisto, Arne Meier, and Jonni Virtema

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 83, 42nd International Symposium on Mathematical Foundations of Computer Science (MFCS 2017)

Abstract
Propositional and modal inclusion logic are formalisms that belong to the family of logics based on team semantics. This article investigates the model checking and validity problems of these logics. We identify complexity bounds for both problems, covering both lax and strict team semantics. By doing so, we come close to finalising the programme that ultimately aims to classify the complexities of the basic reasoning problems for modal and propositional dependence, independence, and inclusion logics.

Dependence Logic vs. Constraint Satisfaction

Authors: Lauri Hella and Phokion G. Kolaitis

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 62, 25th EACSL Annual Conference on Computer Science Logic (CSL 2016)

Abstract
During the past decade, dependence logic has emerged as a formalism suitable for expressing and analyzing notions of dependence and independence that arise in different scientific areas. The sentences of dependence logic have the same expressive power as those of existential second-order logic, hence dependence logic captures NP on the class of all finite structures. In this paper, we identify a natural fragment of universal dependence logic and show that, in a precise sense, it captures constraint satisfaction. This tight connection between dependence logic and constraint satisfaction contributes to the descriptive complexity of constraint satisfaction and elucidates the expressive power of universal dependence logic.

Inclusion Logic and Fixed Point Logic

Authors: Pietro Galliani and Lauri Hella

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 23, Computer Science Logic 2013 (CSL 2013)

Abstract
We investigate the properties of Inclusion Logic, that is, First Order Logic with Team Semantics extended with inclusion dependencies. We prove that Inclusion Logic is equivalent to Greatest Fixed Point Logic, and we prove that all union-closed first-order definable properties of relations are definable in it. We also provide an Ehrenfeucht-Fraïssé game for Inclusion Logic, and give an example illustrating its use.
