Expressive Power <strong>of</strong> IFPC<br />
There are an even number <strong>of</strong> elements satisfying ϕ(x):<br />
∃ν 1 ∃ν 2 (ν 1 = [#xϕ] ∧ (ν 2 + ν 2 = ν 1 ))<br />
Many “obviously” polynomial-time algorithms can be expressed in IFPC.<br />
IFPC captures all <strong>of</strong> PTime over many interesting classes <strong>of</strong> structures, such as<br />
any proper minor-closed class <strong>of</strong> graphs (Grohe 2010)<br />
Matching on graphs can be defined in IFPC.<br />
• bipartite graphs (Blass, Gurevich, Shelah 2005)<br />
• general graphs (Anderson, D., Holm 2013)<br />
