Monadic Second-Order Logic.<br />

First-Order Logic by quantification over sets of elements.<br />

Formula building rules.<br />

• ∃Xϕ, ∀Xϕ: there is a/for all sets of elements ϕ holds<br />

• ∃xϕ, ∀xϕ: there is an/for all elements ϕ holds<br />

• Boolean connectives and atomic formulas<br />

Example. In the language σ := {E} of graphs G := (V, E) we can write<br />

(<br />

∃C 1 ∃C 2 ∃C<br />

} {{ } 3<br />

there are sets<br />

C 1 , C 2 , C 3<br />

∀x<br />

3∨<br />

C i (x)<br />

i=1<br />

} {{ }<br />

ev. node has a col.<br />

∧ ∀x∀y(E(x, y) →<br />

3∧ )<br />

¬(C i (x)∧C i (y)))<br />

i=1<br />

} {{ }<br />

endpoints of edges have different colours<br />

to say that a graph is 3-colourable.
