On Probabilistic Fixpoint and Markov Chain Query Languages
Summary: Generalizes datalog/fixpoint/while so rules fire probabilistically, yielding probabilistic fixpoint/while query languages. Introduces inflationary vs non-inflationary (random-walk/Markov-chain) semantics and analyzes exact/approximate evaluation complexity. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
