The Complexity of Acyclic Conjunctive Queries
This paper deals with the evaluation of acyclic Boolean conjunctive queries in relational databases. By well-known results of Yannakakis [1981], this problem is solvable in polynom...

Size-change termination with difference constraints
lem of inferring termination from such abstract information is not the halting problem for programs and may well be decidable. If this is the case, the decision algorithm forms a &...
