Abstract

This paper resolved an open problem proposed by A. P. Stolboushkin and M. A. Taitslin[6]. We studied the expressibility of first order dynamic logic, and constructed infinite recursive program classesK 1,K 2, ...,RG⊆K 1⊆K2⊆…⊆RF, such thatL, (RG)<L(K 1)<L(K2)<…<L(RF), whereRG, RF are regular program class and finitely generated recursively enumerable program class respectively, andL(K) is the first order dynamic logic of program classK.
