Finite variability interpretation of monadic logic of order
نویسنده
چکیده
We consider an interpretation of monadic second-order logic of order in the continuous time structure of finitely variable signals. We provide a characterization of the expressive power of monadic logic. As a by-product of our characterization we show that many fundamental theorems which hold in the discrete time interpretation of monadic logic are still valid in the continuous time interpretation.

Logics for Real Time: Decidability and Complexity
Over the last fifteen years formalisms for reasoning about metric properties of computations were suggested and discussed. First as extensions of temporal logic, ignoring the framework of classical predicate logic, and then, with the authors’ work, within the framework of monadic logic of order. Here we survey our work on metric logic comparing it to the previous work in the field. We define a ...
متن کاملSimulating polyadic modal logics by monadic ones
We define an interpretation of modal languages with polyadic operators in modal languages that use monadic operators (diamonds) only. We also define a simulation operator which associates a logic Λ in the diamond language with each logic Λ in the language with polyadic modal connectives. We prove that this simulation operator transfers several useful properties of modal logics, such as finite/r...
متن کاملMonadic Logic of Order over Naturals has no Finite Base
A major result concerning Temporal Logics (TL) is Kamp’s theorem [Kam68, GHR94], which states that the temporal logic over the pair of modalities X until Y and Xsince Y is expressively complete for the first order fragment of monadic logic of order over the natural numbers. We show that there is no finite set of modalities B such that the temporal logic over B and monadic logic of order have th...
متن کاملWeak Cost Monadic Logic over Infinite Trees
Cost monadic logic has been introduced recently as a quantitative extension to monadic second-order logic. A sentence in the logic defines a function from a set of structures to N∪{∞}, modulo an equivalence relation which ignores exact values but preserves boundedness properties. The rich theory associated with these functions has already been studied over finite words and trees. We extend the ...
متن کاملOn the Decidability of Continuous Time Speci cationFormalismsA
We consider an interpretation of monadic second-order logic of order in the continuous time structure of nitely variable signals and show the decidability of monadic logic in this structure. The expressive power of monadic logic is illustrated by providing a straightforward meaning preserving translation into monadic logic of three typical continuous time speciication formalism: Temporal Logic ...
