First-Order Logic on Bounded Degree Graphs<br />

Theorem: (Seese, 1996)<br />

Let C be a class of graphs of maximum degree at most d ≥ 1.<br />

MC(FO, C)<br />

Input:<br />

Parameter:<br />

Problem:<br />

Graph G ∈ C, ϕ ∈ FO<br />

|ϕ|<br />

Decide G |= ϕ<br />

is fixed-parameter tractable (linear time fpt algorithm).<br />

But wait:<br />

The proof shows much more ...<br />

... for, where did we use bounded degree?
