| contents | Courcelle's Theorem states that on graphs $G$ of tree-width at most $k$ with a given tree-decomposition of size $t(G)$, graph properties $\mathcal{P}$ definable in Monadic Second Order Logic can be checked in linear time in the size of $t(G)$. Inspired by L. Lovász' work using connection matrices instead of logic, we give a generalized version of Courcelle's theorem which replaces the definability hypothesis by a purely combinatorial hypothesis using a generalization of connection matrices. |
