On the expressive power of IF-logic with classical negation

It is well-known that Independence Friendly (IF) logic is equivalent to existential second-order logic ((formula presnted)) and, therefore, is not closed under classical negation. The boolean closure of IF sentences, called Extended IF-logic, on the other hand, corresponds to a proper fragment of (f...
