The Space-Efficient Core of Vadalog
Summary: Pinpoints piece-wise linear recursion (each TGD body has ≤1 mutually-recursive atom) as Vadalog's space-efficient core, capturing common industrial patterns and enabling tractable, space-efficient reasoning when combined with wardedness. Proves piece-wise linear alone is undecidable and characterizes expressiveness trade-offs of (piece-wise linear) warded TGDs versus related Datalog fragments.
