Abstract

In (Pennemann 2009), the correctness of graph programs relative to nested graph conditions is considered. Since these conditions are expressively equivalent to first-order graph formulas, non-local graph properties in the sense of Gaifman are not expressible by nested graph conditions. We generalize the concept of nested graph conditions to socalled HR +  conditions and investigate the correctness for graph programs relative to these generalized conditions.
