Abstract

Scholz defined the spectrum of a formula φ as the set of cardinalities of all finite structures in which φ is true and the spectrum of a logic as the set of spectra of all formulae of this logic. The spectrum problem is usually considered as one of the following:

  1. 1

    Scholz problem: to give a characterization of the spectrum of a given logic.

  2. 2

    Asser problem: is the spectrum of a given logic closed under complement?
