Paper: Spectra of Monadic Second-Order Formulas with One Unary Function (at LICS 2003)

Authors: Yuri Gurevich Saharon Shelah

Abstract

We establish the eventual periodicity of the spectrum of any monadic second-order formula where (i) all relation symbols, except equality, are unary, and (ii) there is only one function symbol and that symbol is unary.
