Deenability and Compression

چکیده

A compression algorithm takes a nite structure of a class K as input and produces a nite structure of a diierent class K' as output. Given a property P on the class K deened in a logic L, we study the deenability of property P on the class K'. We consider two compression schemas on unary ordered structures (words), a naive compression and the classical Lempel-Ziv. First-order properties of strings are rst-order on naively compressed strings, but this fails for images, i.e. 2-dimensional strings. We present simple rst-order properties of strings which are not rst-order deenable on strings compressed with the Lempel-Ziv compression schema. We show that all properties of strings that are rst-order deenable on strings are deenable on Lempel-Ziv compressed strings in FO(TC), the extension of rst-order logic with the transitive closure operator. We deene a subclass C of the rst-order properties of strings such that if L is deened by a property in C, it is also rst-order deenable on the Lempel-Ziv compressed strings.

Regular Pomset Languages: Closure Properties and Msol Deenability

We compare the general notion of regularity deened in FM02] for languages of pomsets (with autoconcurrency) with the deenability in MSOL of such languages. We show that for the class of bounded languages, deenability implies regularity. It shows that for bounded languages of pomsets without autoconcurrency, the recognisability by Asynchronous Cellular Automata as deened in DGK00] implies regula...

A Characterization of lambda Definability in Categorical Models of Implicit Polymorphism

Lambda deenability is characterized in categorical models of simply typed lambda calculus with type variables. A category-theoretic framework known as glueing or sconing is used to extend the Jung-Tiuryn characterization of lambda deenability JuT93], rst to ccc models, and then to categorical models of the calculus with type variables. Logical relations are now a well-established tool for study...

Definability and Commonsense Reasoning

The deenition of concepts is a central problem in commonsense reasoning. Many themes in nonmonotonic reasoning concern implicit and explicit deenability. Implicit deenability in nonmonotonic logic is always relative to the context-the current theory of the world. We show that xed point equations provide a generalization of explicit deenability, which correctly captures the relativized context. ...

Deenability of Polyadic Lifts of Generalized Quantiiers

We study generalized quantiiers on nite structures. With every function f : ! ! ! we associate a quantiier Q f by letting Q f x' say \there are at least f(n) elements x satisfying ', where n is the size of the universe". This is the general form of what is known as a monotone quantiier of type h1i. We study so called polyadic lifts of such quantiiers. The particular lifts we consider are Ramsey...
