Graph Structure and Monadic Second-Order Logic

From International Center for Computational Logic

Graph Structure and Monadic Second-Order Logic

Talk by Michaël Thomazo
In this talk, I will introduce the book from Courcelle and Engelfriet (Graph Structure and Monadic Second-Order Logic -- A Language-Theoretic Approach). In particular, we will see families of graphs (of bounded treewidth/cliquewidth), their links with monadic second order-logic, and fixed-parameter tractability. The talk aims at brushing an overview of the book, and should be as largely accessible as possible.
