Database Support for Unstructured Meshes

Summary: Proposes ImG-Complex, a general model extending incidence graphs with multi-incidence to capture mesh combinatorics. Optional constraints tailor ImG-Complex to object classes, enabling declarative mesh queries and evaluating graph-only query expressiveness. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
