The Power of Tree Projections: Local Consistency, Greedy Algorithms, and Larger Islands of Tractability
Summary: Precisely characterizes when local consistency yields global consistency via tree projections: existence of tree projections for certain subqueries is necessary and sufficient, covering both decision and projected-answer tasks. Proposes greedy tree projections and identifies new recognizable islands of tractability and quasi-tractability. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
