Numerical Document Queries
Summary: Extend MSO on trees with Presburger predicates on children to capture numerical document queries and provide an automata-theoretic characterization. Existential fragment decidable, full logic undecidable; an order-irrelevant fragment yields decidable satisfiability and a linear-data query algorithm. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
