Tema predavanja: WEAK ARITNMETIC FROM THE VIEWPOINT OF MONADIC SECOND-ORDER LOGIC

Apstrakt:

By a weak arithmetical structure we shall mean a structure on the natural numbers such that: a) all the corresponding predicates and functions are computable; b) its elementary (that is, first-order) theory
is decidable. Among the structures of this kind are Presburger’s and Skolem’s arithmetics, viz. the natural numbers with equality and either addition or multiplication. We are going to discuss monadic second-order definability in weak arithmetical structures and related complexity issues. Here `monadic’ means that only predicate variables of arity 1 — which range over unary predicates on the natural numbers — are allowed. In effect, in second order logic, it is often natural to focus on monadic formulas. We shall examine in detail the case of Presburger arithmetic, and somewhat less explicitly, the case of Skolem arithmetic and its reducts.
