Rewrite Rules for Search Database Systems
Summary: Models search-query augmentation as rewrite programs (hedge-rewriting) that produce a least fixpoint (lfp) set of alternative queries and introduces lfp‑convergence (finiteness of each lfp). Shows lfp‑convergence undecidable, gives a polynomial-time decidable safety condition that guarantees convergence and validates it on a deployed rewrite program.
