Uniformization and Skolem functions in the class of trees

Shmuel Lifsches, +1 more
- 15 Dec 1994 - 
TL;DR: This work defines a subclass of the class of tame trees (trees with a definable choice function) and proves that this is exactly the class (actually set) of trees with definable Skolem functions.

Selection in the monadic theory of a countable ordinal

TL;DR: It is shown that for every ordinal α ≥ ωω there are formulas having no selector in the structure (α, <), and a partial extension of the Büchi-Landweber solvability theorem to all countable ordinals is state.

Selection and uniformization problems in the monadic theory of ordinals: a survey

TL;DR: This paper surveys some fundamental algorithmic questions and recent results regarding selection and uniformization and presents a natural generalization of the Church problem to ordinals when some additional requirements are imposed on the uniformizing formula ψ(X, Y).

Regular sets over extended tree structures

TL;DR: The well-known equivalence between languages recognized by finite automata, sets of vertices MSO definable in a tree-structure and sets of pushdown contexts generated by pushdown-automata is extended to k-iterated pushdown automata.

Solving sequential conditions by finite-state strategies

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present an algorithm which decides whether or not a condition X, Y stated in sequential calculus admits a finite automata solution, and produces one if it exists.

The monadic theory of order

TL;DR: It is proved that the monadic theory of the real order is undecidable, which means that all known results in a unified way are proved.

Monadic Second-Order Theories

Yuri Gurevich
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors make a case for monadic second-order logic as a good source of theories that are both expressive and manageable, and illustrate two powerful decidability techniques here.
