Differential Constraints
Summary: Define differential constraints—finite-difference equations on functions 2^U→R; characterize implication via lattice decompositions, give a sound and complete inference system, and prove coNP-completeness. Apply to concise frequent-itemset representations (disjunctive rules) and connect to positive boolean dependencies in relational DBs. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
