The algebra of binary relations provides union and composition as basic operators, with the empty set as neutral element for union and the identity relation as neutral element for composition. The basic algebra can be enriched with additional features. We consider the diversity relation, the full relation, intersection, set difference, projection, coprojection, converse, and transitive closure. It...
We consider the problem of counting the number of answers to a first-order formula on a finite structure. We present and study an extension of first-order logic in which algorithms for this counting problem can be naturally and conveniently expressed, in senses that are made precise and that are motivated by the wish to understand tractable cases of the counting problem.
We introduce the logic FOCN(ℙ) which extends first-order logic by counting and by numerical predicates from a set ℙ, and which can be viewed as a natural generalisation of various counting logics that have been studied in the literature.
