Allocating Isolation Levels to Transactions in a Multiversion Setting
Summary: Mixed robustness for MVCC: given a heterogeneous allocation of RC/SI/SSI (as in Postgres/Oracle), decide whether every allowed interleaving is serializable. Presents a polynomial-time decision procedure and a polynomial algorithm to compute optimal robust allocations. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
