Courcelle’s Theorem: Algorithm
Given: Graph G of tree-width ≤ k fixed MSO-formula ϕ of q.r. q
1. Compute a tree-decomposition T := (T,(B t ) t∈V T) of G
2. Compute the MSO q -type tp MSO (B t ) for each leaf t
3. Bottom up, compute tp MSO
q (G[ ⋃ t≺s B s], B t ) for each t ∈ V(T)
MSO q -type of B t in G[ ⋃ t≺s B s] (graph induced by ⋃ t≺s B s)
4. Check whether ϕ ∈ tp MSO
q (G, B r ) at the root r of G
