Title
Bounding quantification in parametric expansions of Presburger arithmetic.
Abstract
Generalizing Cooper’s method of quantifier elimination for Presburger arithmetic, we give a new proof that all parametric Presburger families \(\{S_t : t \in \mathbb {N}\}\) [as defined by Woods (Electron J Comb 21:P21, 2014)] are definable by formulas with polynomially bounded quantifiers in an expanded language with predicates for divisibility by f(t) for every polynomial \(f \in \mathbb {Z}[t]\). In fact, this quantifier bounding method works more generally in expansions of Presburger arithmetic by multiplication by scalars \(\{\alpha (t): \alpha \in R, t \in X\}\) where R is any ring of functions from X into \(\mathbb {Z}\).
