    Natural Language Statement

    Theorem

    Every problem of PTIME is in NP: every SO-Horn definable problem is definable in existential second-order logic. The guards of a Horn program being over the ordered expansion of the vocabulary, the inclusion is not read off the syntax; every problem of PTIME reduces to HORN-SAT, which is in NP, and NP is closed under ordered first-order reductions.
