Model theory or the theory of models, as it was first named by Tarski in 1954, may be considered as the part of the semantics of formalized languages that is concerned with the interplay between the syntactic structure of an axiom system on the one hand and (algebraic, settheoretic, . . . ) properties of its models on the other hand. As it turned out, first-order language (we mostly speak of first-order logic) became the most prominent language in this respect, the reason being that it obeys some fundamental principles such as the compactness theorem and the completeness theorem. These principles are valuable modeltheoretic tools and, at the same time, reflect the expressive weakness of first-order logic. This weakness is the breeding ground for the freedomwhich modeltheoretic methods rest upon. By compactness, any first-order axiom system either has only finite models of limited cardinality or has infinite models. The first case is trivial because finit | 出版日期 | Book 1995Latest edition | 关键词 | 0-1-laws; Finite model theory; complexity; complexity theory; descriptive complexity theory; fixed-point | 版次 | 2 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/3-540-28788-4 | isbn_ebook | 978-3-540-28788-9Series ISSN 1439-7382 Series E-ISSN 2196-9922 | issn_series | 1439-7382 | copyright | Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 1995 |
