Arguably, the left and right axis relations must be available in an XPath dialect which calls itself navigational. For instance we need them to express XPath’s child::A[n] for n a natural number ...

The extension of ◦ to P(M) induces a commutative monoidal structure with unit element {} on P(M). As a consequence, the structure (P(M), ◦, {}) is a ...

... Because the axioms are so weak, the paradox is open to other interpretations. For instance, ts can be read as a comprehension schema for binary relations. In this case it may be preferable to replace the schema ts with a quantified version ∃z ∀x ∀y (Sat(z, x, y) ↔ ϕ(x, y)). The paradox follows in th ...

THE SUCCINCTNESS OF FIRST-ORDER LOGIC

For a natural number k we write FOk to denote the k-variable fragment of FO. The three variables available in FO3 will always be denoted x, y, and z. W ...
