The First-Order Theory of Ground Tree Rewrite Graphs

pdf-format:
4.pdf (0.5 MB)

Abstract

We prove that the complexity of the uniform first-order theory
of ground tree rewrite graphs is in ATIME(2^{2^{poly(n)}},O(n). Providing a matching lower bound, we show that there is some
fixed ground tree rewrite graph whose first-order theory is hard
for ATIME(2^{2^{poly(n)}},poly(n)) with respect to logspace reductions. Finally, we prove that there exists a fixed ground tree rewrite graph together with a single unary predicate in form of a regular tree language such that the resulting structure has a non-elementary first-order theory.
