Convergence of Datalog over (Pre-) Semirings
Summary: Defines least‑fixpoint Datalog semantics over ordered semirings and analyzes convergence of iterative evaluation beyond Boolean/monotone cases. Characterizes algebraic semiring properties that guarantee convergence and isolates a class of ordered semirings supporting semi‑naive evaluation for all Datalog programs.
