We study definability of second order generalized quantifiers on finite structures. Our main result says that for every second order type t there exists a second order generalized quantifier of type t ...

First note that the quantifier c-commands BOOK. Short C-command of this sort is called government. Government differs from c-command in that a node can be governed by only one governor, where as a ...

Cylindrical Algebraic Decomposition (CAD) is a pivotal algorithmic technique in real algebraic geometry, instrumental in resolving problems expressed in a first‐order language over the reals. By ...
