We build on already existing results for standard relational machines, obtained by Abiteboul, Papadimitriou and Vianu APV], so we prove only results for existential machines...

Explicit naming of the domain of an unbounded operator is often suppressed, instead writing T1 ⊂ T2 when T2 is an extension of T1, in the sense that the domain of T2 contains that of T1, and the restriction of T2 to the domain of T1 agrees with T1. An operator T ′, D′ is a sub-adjoint to an operator T,D when 〈Tv,w〉 = 〈v, T ′w〉 (for v ∈ D, w ∈ D′) For D dense, for given D′ there is at most one T...
