 In [[Quantifier elimination definition]] we noted that if the validity of first-order formulas in some theory is decidable, then we can extend the language of formulas so that we have quantifier elimination. ​ Previously we also observed that quantifier elimination implies the existence of interpolants (see the definition of [[interpolation for propositional logic]] as well as the [[Calculus of Computation Textbook]]). ​ We next apply these observations to weak monadic second-order logic over strings described in [[Lecture23]]. In [[Quantifier elimination definition]] we noted that if the validity of first-order formulas in some theory is decidable, then we can extend the language of formulas so that we have quantifier elimination. ​ Previously we also observed that quantifier elimination implies the existence of interpolants (see the definition of [[interpolation for propositional logic]] as well as the [[Calculus of Computation Textbook]]). ​ We next apply these observations to weak monadic second-order logic over strings described in [[Lecture23]].
