Weakly maximal decidable structures
RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications - Informatique Théorique et Applications, Tome 42 (2008) no. 1, pp. 137-145.

We prove that there exists a structure M whose monadic second order theory is decidable, and such that the first-order theory of every expansion of M by a constant is undecidable.
