Abstract: We extend the inflationary fixed-point logic, IFP, with a new kind of second-order quantifiers which have (poly-)logarithmic bounds. We prove that on ordered structures the new logic existslogomegaextIFP captures the limited nondeterminism class . In order to study its expressive power, we also design a new version of Ehrenfeucht-Fra"iss'e game for this logic and show that our capturing result will not hold on the general case, i.e. on all the finite structures.
