Polynomial hierarchy graph properties in hybrid logic

作者:

Highlights:

• Polynomially-bounded growth of sequences of HL formulas expressing PH problems.

• The main result still holds if we discharge global modalities provided that graphs are connected and with loops.

• An alternative proof of the NP-hardness of the fragment of HL without the pattern binder-box-binder.

• Fragments of HL with complete model-checking problems for each degree of the polynomial hierarchy.
