On regular languages over power sets

The power set of a finite set is used as the alphabet of a string interpreting a sentence of Monadic Second-Order Logic so that the string can be reduced (in a straightforward way) to the symbols occurring in the sentence. Simple extensions to regular expressions are described matching the succinct...
