Localisation of Graph Invariants<br />

Let f : GRAPHS → N be a induced subgraph monotone graph invariant.<br />

Theorem: Let C be a class of graphs such that the following is fpt:<br />

MC(FO, f )<br />

Input:<br />

Parameter:<br />

Problem:<br />

ϕ ∈ FO, Graph G ∈ C<br />

|ϕ|+f(G)<br />

Decide G |= ϕ<br />

Then first-order model checking is fixed-parameter tractable on C.<br />

Follows immediately from the following theorem proved before.<br />

Theorem: Let C be a class of graphs such that the following is fpt:<br />

LOCAL-FO-MC<br />

Input: ϕ ∈ FO, Graph G ∈ C,v 1 ,...,v k ∈ V(G), and r ∈ N<br />

Parameter: r + k +|ϕ|<br />

Problem: Decide G [ Nr G (v 1 ,...,v k )] |= ϕ<br />

Then first-order model checking is fixed-parameter tractable on C.<br />
