Finite Model Theory First Edition

Finite Model Theory First Edition / by Heinz-Dieter Ebbinghaus, Jörg Flum.

Finite model theory has its origins in classical model theory, but owes its systematic development to research from complexity theory. The book presents the main results of descriptive complexity theory, that is, the connections between axiomatizability of classes of finite structures and their comp...
