## Abstract We refine the constructions of Ferrante‐Rackoff and Solovay on iterated definitions in first‐order logic and their expressibility with polynomial size formulas. These constructions introduce additional quantifiers; however, we show that these extra quantifiers range over only finite set

✦ Synopsis
We consider first order modal logic C firstly defined by Carnap in "Meaning and Necessity" [1]. We prove elimination of nested modalities for this logic, which gives additionally the Skolem-Löwenheim theorem for C. We also evaluate the degree of unsolvability for C, by showing that it is exactly 0 . We compare this logic with the logics of Henkin quantifiers, Σ 1 1 logic, and SO. We also shortly discuss properties of the logic C in finite models.

In this article, we first summarize the more important aspects of a fuzzy logic relational database and show how a fuzzy relational database can be represented and handled using first-order logic. Given that the results obtained for fuzzy databases are satisfactory, we then tackle the problem of unc
