Bruyere and Carton lifted the notion of finite automata reading infinite words to finite automata reading words with shape an arbitrary linear order $$\mathfrak{L}$$. Automata on finite words can be used to represent infinite structures, the so-called word-automatic structures. Analogously, for a linear order $$\mathfrak{L}$$ there is the class of $$\mathfrak{L}$$-automatic structures. In this paper we prove the following limitations on the class of $$\mathfrak{L}$$-automatic structures for a… Expand

The Field of the Reals and the Random Graph are not Finite-Word Ordinal-Automatic
This work lifts Delhomm\'e's relative-growth-technique from the automatic and tree-automatic setting to the ordinal- automatic setting, which implies that the random graph is not Ordinal-automatic and infinite integral domains are not ordinals below $\omega_1+\omega^ \omega$ where $\omegas_1$ is the first uncountable ordinal.

It is shown that sets of sets of strings represented by second-order finite automata are closed under the usual Boolean operations, such as union, intersection, difference and even under a suitable notion of complementation, and emptiness of intersection and inclusion are decidable. Expand
