%0 Journal Article %T Karp complexity and classes with the independence property %A Michael C. Laskowski %A Saharon Shelah %J Mathematics %D 2003 %I arXiv %X A class K of structures is controlled if for all cardinals lambda, the relation of L_{infty,lambda}-equivalence partitions K into a set of equivalence classes (as opposed to a proper class). We prove that no pseudo-elementary class with the independence property is controlled. By contrast, there is a pseudo-elementary class with the strict order property that is controlled. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/math/0303345v1
