 Consider a simple language of sets:
+\[
+\begin{array}{l}
+   S ::= V \mid S \cup S \mid S \cap S \mid S \setminus S \mid \mathbf{U} \mid \emptyset \\
+   A ::= (S = S) \mid (S \subseteq S) \mid card(S){=}c \mid card(S) \leq c \mid card(S) \geq c \\
+   F ::= F \lor F \mid F \land F \mid \lnot F \mid A \\
+   c ::= 0 \mid 1 \mid 2 \mid ...
+\end{array}
+\]
+We show that this language is decidable by reduction to universal class.
+While BAPA is more expressive with respect to cardinalities, the advantage of the present method is that it allows the use of certain relations.

+However, see [[http://lara.epfl.ch/~kuncak/papers/WiesETAL09CombiningTheorieswithSharedSetOperations.html|On Combining Theories with Shared Set Operations]] for a way to combine BAPA with logics that support relations.
