Title
Succinct definitions in the first order theory of graphs
Abstract
We say that a first order sentence A defines a graph G if A is true on G but false on any graph non-isomorphic to G. Let L(G) (resp. D(G)) denote the minimum length (resp. quantifier rank) of such a sentence. We define the succinctness function s(n) (resp. its variant q(n)) to be the minimum L(G) (resp. D(G)) over all graphs on n vertices.
