Towards Tractable Algebras for Bags
1996
Journal of computer and system sciences (Print)
Bags, i.e. sets with duplicates, are often used to implement relations in database systems. In this paper, we study the expressive power of algebras for manipulating bags. ...
We show that the bag algebra is more expressive than the nested relation algebra (at all levels of nesting), and that the di erence may be subtle. ...
We studied an algebra for bags, which extends the relational algebra. Interestingly, we proved that without bag nesting it constitutes a tractable query language (LOGSPACE). ...

Summary: “The goal of this paper is to study tractable iteration mechanisms for bags. ...
We study two constructs for controlling tractability of iteration over bags. The

deflationary fixpoint construct keeps removing elements from a bag until a fixpoint is reached. ...

Towards tractable algebras for bags. ...
The present authors make a similar study for a model based on multi-sets or bags, rather than ordinary sets. They define an analogous bag algebra, and consider a similar hierarchy BALG*, k > 1. ...
Fragments of bag relational algebra: Expressiveness and certain answers

Thus, as D ′ ranges over D , we have a range of numbers that define an interval between min(ā, q, D) = min Complexity of min For fragments in the shaded area, computing min(ā, q, D) is tractable, and it ...
Under bag semantics, we have more information: for each tuple, we know the number # (ā , q(D ′ ) ) of occurrences ofā in q(D ′ ). ...

The HOMFLY-PT Polynomial is Fixed-Parameter Tractable
2018
International Symposium on Computational Geometry
Here we show that computing HOMFLY-PT is fixed-parameter tractable in the treewidth, and we give the first sub-exponential time algorithm to compute it for arbitrary links. ...
It was shown by Makowsky in 2001 that computing the Jones polynomial is fixed-parameter tractable in the treewidth of the link diagram, but the parameterised complexity of the more powerful HOMFLY-PT polynomial ...
Then T has a unique forget bag for which c is the forgotten vertex. Proof. Since the root bag of T is empty, there must be some forget bag for which c is the forgotten vertex. ...

As a special case, we give a tight time bound for edge deletion to obtain a single clique and isolated vertices, and we round up this study with NP-completeness results for a number of target graphs. ...
