摘要

A natural fragment of Monadic Second-Order Logic is First-Order Logic (FO), consisting of all MSO formulas that do not use second-order quantification over monadic predicates. Only first-order quantification over positions in a word is allowed. This chapter takes a closer look at FO over finite words, with a focus on two aspects.
