Abstract
We investigate the decidability of the definability problem for fragments of first order logic over finite words enriched with regular numerical predicates. In this paper, we focus on the quantifier alternation hierarchies of first order logic. We obtain that deciding this problem for each level of the alternation hierarchy of both first order logic and its two-variable fragment when equipped with all regular numerical predicates is not harder than deciding it for the corresponding level equipped with only the linear order.
