Bounded Fixpoints for Complex Objects
نویسنده
چکیده
We investigate a query language for complex-object databases, which is designed to (1) express only tractable queries, and (2) be as expressive over at relations as rst order logic with xpoints. The language is obtained by extending the nested relational algebra NRA, of 9], with a \bounded xpoint" operator. Extending the at case 15, 21] , all PTime computable queries over ordered databases are expressible in this language. The main result consists in proving that this language is a conservative extension of the rst order logic with xpoints, or of the while-queries (depending on the interpretation of the bounded xpoint: innationary or partial). The proof technique uses indexes, to encode complex objects into at relations, and is strong enough to allow for the encoding of NRA with unbounded xpoints into at relations. We also deene a complex object logic based language with xpoints and prove that its range restricted fragment is equivalent to NRA with bounded xpoints.

Fixpoints and Bounded Fixpoints for Complex Objects
We investigate a query language for complex-object databases, which is designed to (1) express only tractable queries, and (2) be as expressive over flat relations as first order logic with fixpoints. The language is obtained by extending the nested relational algebra NRA with a "bounded fixpoint" operator. As in the flat case, all PTime computable queries over ordered databases are expressible...
متن کاملWeighted composition operators between Lipschitz algebras of complex-valued bounded functions
In this paper, we study weighted composition operators between Lipschitz algebras of complex-valued bounded functions on metric spaces, not necessarily compact. We give necessary and sufficient conditions for the injectivity and the surjectivity of these operators. We also obtain sufficient and necessary conditions for a weighted composition operator between these spaces to be compact.
متن کاملTime-bounded Reachability for Hybrid Automata: Complexity and Fixpoints
In this paper, we study the time-bounded reachability problem for rectangular hybrid automata with non-negative rates (RHA). This problem was recently shown to be decidable [5] (even though the unbounded reachability problem for even very simple classes of hybrid automata is well-known to be undecidable). However, [5] does not provide a precise characterisation of the complexity of the time-bou...

We determine the form of polynomially bounded solutions to the Loewner differential equation that is satisfied by univalent subordination chains of the form $f(z,t)=e^{int_0^t A(tau){rm d}tau}z+cdots$, where $A:[0,infty]rightarrow L(mathbb{C}^n,mathbb{C}^n)$ is a locally Lebesgue integrable mapping and satisfying the condition $$sup_{sgeq0}int_0^inftyleft|expleft{int_s^t [A(tau)...
