The principal aim of model checking is to provide efficient decision procedures for the evaluation of certain logical formulae over finite relational structures. Graphs and hypergraphs are important examples of such structures. If no restrictions are imposed on the logical formulae and on the structures under consideration, then this problem of model checking has a very high computational complexity. Hence, several restrictions have been proposed in the literature on the logical formulae and/or on the structures under consideration, in order to guarantee the tractability of this decision problem, e.g.: acyclicity, bounded tree-width, query-width and hypertree-width in case of queries as well as bounded tree-width and clique-width in case of structures. In this paper, we provide a detailed comparison of the expressive power of these restrictions.
