Descriptive Complexity Canonisation Definable by Grohe Martin (8 results)

Hardcover. Condition: Like New. First Edition. A firm, square and tight hardback with strong joints, just showing a few very minor hardly noticeable bumps and some mild cosmetic wear. Hence a non-text page is stamped 'damaged'. Despite such this book is actually in nearly new condition. Thus the contents are crisp, fresh and clean with no pen-marks. Not from a library so no such stamps or labels. Now offered for sale at a very reasonable price.

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Descriptive complexity theory establishes a connection between the computational complexity of algorithmic problems (the computational resources required to solve the problems) and their descriptive complexity (the language resources required to describe the problems). This groundbreaking book approaches descriptive complexity from the angle of modern structural graph theory, specifically graph minor theory. It develops a 'definable structure theory' concerned with the logical definability of graph theoretic concepts such as tree decompositions and embeddings. The first part starts with an introduction to the background, from logic, complexity, and graph theory, and develops the theory up to first applications in descriptive complexity theory and graph isomorphism testing. It may serve as the basis for a graduate-level course. The second part is more advanced and mainly devoted to the proof of a single, previously unpublished theorem: properties of graphs with excluded minors are decidable in polynomial time if, and only if, they are definable in fixed-point logic with counting. This groundbreaking, yet accessible book contains original results on the interaction between graph theory and computational complexity using methods from finite model theory. As well as a wealth of new, previously unpublished results, the author also gives an account of the established results in the area. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
