Function Symbols in Tuple-Generating Dependencies: Expressive Power and Computability
Summary: Analyzes how explicit function symbols extend tgds via second-order, nested, and newly introduced Henkin tgds to capture expressiveness beyond Skolemized existentials. Characterizes intertranslatability, decidability of query answering under tgd syntactic criteria, and model-checking complexity. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
