On the Existential Fragments of Local First-Order Logics with Data (2209.10309v1)
Published 21 Sep 2022 in cs.LO
Abstract: We study first-order logic over unordered structures whose elements carry a finite number of data values from an infinite domain which can be compared wrt. equality. As the satisfiability problem for this logic is undecidable in general, in a previous work, we have introduced a family of local fragments that restrict quantification to neighbourhoods of a given reference point. We provide here the precise complexity characterisation of the satisfiability problem for the existential fragments of this local logic depending on the number of data values carried by each element and the radius of the considered neighbourhoods.
