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...

Knowledge updates: Semantics and complexity issues
We consider the problem of how an agent's knowledge can be updated. We propose a formal method of knowledge update on the basis of the semantics of modal logic S5. In our met...

Computational Complexity of Constraint Satisfaction
Abstract. The input to a constraint satisfaction problem (CSP) consists of a set of variables, each with a domain, and constraints between these variables formulated by relations o...
