Finite and Algorithmic Model Theory Summary

Finite and Algorithmic Model Theory by Javier Esparza (Technische Universitat Munchen)

Intended for researchers and graduate students in theoretical computer science and mathematical logic, this volume contains accessible surveys by leading researchers from areas of current work in logical aspects of computer science, where both finite and infinite model-theoretic methods play an important role. Notably, the articles in this collection emphasize points of contact and connections between finite and infinite model theory in computer science that may suggest new directions for interaction. Among the topics discussed are: algorithmic model theory, descriptive complexity theory, finite model theory, finite variable logic, model checking, model theory for restricted classes of finite structures, and spatial databases. The chapters all include extensive bibliographies facilitating deeper exploration of the literature and further research.

Finite and Algorithmic Model Theory Reviews

Researchers will find the book useful for referring to theorems on finite model theory. For building models of complicated problems, the book provides a good foundation. Maulik A. Dave, Computing Reviews
