Let D(G) be the smallest quantifier depth of afirst-order formula which is true for a graph G but falsefor any other non-isomorphic graph. This can be viewed as a measurefor the descriptive complexity of G in first-orderlogic.We show that almost surely D(G)=θ(lnn / ln lnn), where G is a random tree of order n or thegiant component of a random graph G(n,c/n)with constant cD(T) for a tree T of order n andmaximum degree l, so we study this problem as well. |
