Output-sensitive Conjunctive Query Evaluation
Summary: Output-sensitive algorithm for acyclic CQs with free variables; extends Yannakakis and improves runtime without matrix multiplication. Tight bounds for stars (matching lower bound) and a cyclic-CQ family under k-clique conjecture; extensions to paths. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
