Abstract:
It is known due to the work of Van den Broeck, Meert and Darwiche that weighted first-order model counting (WFOMC) in the two-variable fragment of first-order logic can be solved in time polynomial in the number of domain elements. In this paper we extend this result to the two-variable fragment with counting quantifiers.

Abstract:
AbstractMany known tools for proving expressibility bounds for first-ordér logic are based on one of several locality properties. In this paper we characterize the relationship between those notions of locality. We note that Gaifman's locality theorem gives rise to two notions: one deals with sentences and one with open formulae. We prove that the former implies Hanf's notion of locality, which in turn implies Gaifman's locality for open formulae. Each of these implies the bounded degree property, which is one of the easiest tools for proving expressibility bounds. These results apply beyond t

Abstract:
Throughout the development of finite model theory, the fragments of first-order logic with only finitely many variables have played a central role. This survey gives an introduction to the theory of finite variable logics and reports on recent progress in the area.For each k ≥ 1 we let Lk be the fragment of first-order logic consisting of all formulas with at most k (free or bound) variables. The logics Lk are the simplest finite-variable logics. Later, we are going to consider infinitary variants and extensions by so-called counting quantifiers.Finite variable logics have mostly been studied

Abstract:
Abstract We study the satisfiability problem for two-variable first-order logic over structures with one transitive relation. We show that the problem is decidable in 2-NExpTime for the fragment consisting of formulas where existential quantifiers are guarded by transitive atoms. As this fragment enjoys neither the finite model property nor the tree model property, to show decidability we introduce a novel model construction technique based on the infinite Ramsey theorem. We also point out why the technique is not sufficient to obtain decidability for the full two-variable logic with one trans

Abstract:
§1. Introduction. A logic ℒ has a limit law, if the asymptotic probability of every query definable in ℒ converges. It has a 0–1-law if the probability converges to 0 or 1. The 0–1-law for first-order logic on relational vocabularies was independently found by Glebski et al. [6] and Fagin [5]. Later it has been shown for many other logics, for instance for fragments of second order logic [12], for finite variable logic [13] and for FO extended with the rigidity quantifier [3]. Lynch [14] has shown a limit law for first-order logic on vocabularies with unary functions.We say that two formulas o

Abstract:
AbstractLifted inference has been proposed for various probabilistic logical frameworks in order to compute the probability of queries in a time that depends on the size of the domains of the random variables rather than the number of instances. Even if various authors have underlined its importance for probabilistic logic programming (PLP), lifted inference has been applied up to now only to relational languages outside of logic programming. In this paper we adapt Generalized Counting First Order Variable Elimination (GC-FOVE) to the problem of computing the probability of queries to probabil

Abstract:
We examine how logical reasoning in the two-variable guarded fragment with counting quantifiers can be integrated with databases in the presence of certain integrity constraints, called path-functional dependencies. In more detail, we establish that the problems of satisfiability and finite satisfiability for the two-variable guarded fragment with counting quantifiers, a database, and binary path-functional dependencies are EXPTIME-complete; we also establish that the data complexity of these problems is NP-complete. We establish that query answering for the above fragment (with a database and

Abstract:
In this thesis, we study advanced reasoning about dynamical systems in a logical framework -- the situation calculus. In particular, we consider promoting the efficiency of reasoning about action in the situation calculus from three different aspects. First, we propose a modified situation calculus based on the two-variable predicate logic with counting quantifiers. We show that solving the projection and executability problems via regression in such language are decidable. We prove that generally these two problems are co-NExpTime-complete in the modified language. We also consider restric

Abstract:
This chapter introduces the concepts of signature and structure, and describes the semantics for first- and second-order logic. We outline three different but extensionally equivalent treatments of quantifiers and variables (the Tarskian approach, the Robinsonian approach, and a hybrid approach) and discuss their philosophical merits concerning compositionality, and Fine’s antinomy of the variable. We also outline two extensionally distinct semantics for second-order logic (Henkin, full). The appendix to the chapter presents the formal definitions of some theories of arithmetic and set theory

Abstract:
Among the most expressive knowledge representation formalisms are the description logics of the Z family. For well-behaved fragments of ZOIQ, entailment of positive two-way regular path queries is well known to be 2EXPTIME-complete under the proviso of unary encoding of numbers in cardinality constraints. We show that this assumption can be dropped without an increase in complexity and EXPTIME-completeness can be achieved when bounding the number of query atoms, using a novel reduction from query entailment to knowledge base satisfiability. These findings allow to strengthen other results rega
