Answering Queries Using Views with Arithmetic Comparisons

Summary: Novel algorithm to compute maximally-contained rewritings (MCRs) for conjunctive queries with arithmetic comparisons (CQACs) over dense orders, handling left/right semi-interval-comparison predicates. Shows finite unions of CQACs can be insufficient, identifies cases where datalog suffices, and proves decidability of equivalent rewritings. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
