Deterministic vs. nondeterministic transitive closure logic
It is shown that transitive closure logic (FO+TC) is strictly more powerful than deterministic transitive closure logic (FO+DTC) on unordered structures. In fact, on certain classes of graphs, such as hypercubes or regular graphs of large degree and girth, every query in (FO+DTC) is first-order expressible. On the other hand, there are simple (FO+pos TC) queries on these classes that cannot be defined by first-order formulas.<>
