On the Computation of Relational View Complements

Summary: Characterizes and algorithmically constructs small (and in special cases minimal) complements for monotonic relational views, enabling recovery of source-missing information. Construction runs in time polynomial in schema size and supports warehouse properties like independence and self-maintainability. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
