Beside this modularity, hierarchical graph definitions also allow to specify graphs of exponential size using polynomial size descriptions. In many cases, this succinctness increases the computational complexity of decision problems. In this paper, the model-checking problem for the modal $\mu$-calculus and (monadic) least fixpoint logic on hierarchically defined input graphs is investigated. In order to analyze the modal $\mu$-calculus, parity games on hierarchically defined input graphs are investigated. In most cases precise upper and lower complexity bounds are derived. A restriction on hierarchical graph definitions that leads to more efficient model-checking algorithms is presented.
