Chase Termination for Guarded Existential Rules
Summary: First positive decidability results for oblivious and semi-oblivious chase termination for guarded-based existential rules. Provides rich-/weak-acyclicity criteria for linear TGDs (PSPACE-complete, NL if bounded arity) and decidability for guarded/weakly-guarded TGDs (2EXPTIME-complete, EXPTIME if bounded arity); resulting query languages match standard expressiveness but appear more succinct.
