Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

There are sentences in the first order theory of partial orders for whom the limit probability of the sentence holding for the random partial order of dimension two does not exist. Furthermore there is no decision procedure that distinguishes those sentences which hold almost surely from those which hold almost never.
