Courcelle’s Theorem<br />

Theorem: (Courcelle 1990)<br />

For any class C of bounded tree-width<br />

MC(MSO 2 , C)<br />

Input: Graph G ∈ C, ϕ ∈ MSO<br />

Parameter: |ϕ|<br />

Problem: Decide G |= ϕ<br />

is fixed-parameter tractable (linear time for each fixed ϕ).<br />

What about the parameter dependence?<br />

Theorem: (Frick, Grohe, 01)<br />

1. Unless P=NP, there is no fpt-algorithm for MSO model checking on<br />

trees with elementary parameter dependence.<br />

2. Unless FPT=W[1], there is no fpt-algorithm for FO model checking<br />

on trees with elementary parameter dependence.
