Abstract

The first result presented in this paper is the closure under complementation of the class or languages of finite N-free posets recognized by branching automata. Relying on this, we propose a logic, named Presburger-MSO or P-MSO for short, precisely as expressive as branching automata. The P-MSO theory of the class of all finite N-free posets is decidable.
