Reachability and Connectivity Queries in Constraint Databases
Summary: Augments standard constraint-query languages (FO+Lin, FO+Poly) with topological predicates to obtain closed languages that can express connectivity and reachability. Introduces Path Logic: closed, PTIME data complexity for linear/polynomial constraints, expresses rich path properties via discrete abstractions of continuous paths.
