Towards a Worst-Case I/O-Optimal Algorithm for Acyclic Joins
Summary: Extends I/O-optimal triangle-query techniques to a broad class of acyclic joins via a multi-relation algorithm that carefully avoids materializing intermediates to disk. Proves worst-case I/O-optimality for several acyclic classes despite unknown AGM-like I/O bounds. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
