On the Space Requirements of Navigational Relationship Representations
Summary: Analyzes space cost of navigational relationship representations; defines the class and surveys baseline techniques. Proposes companionship-based compact representations and the powerset representation, the latter delivering a worst-case lower bound on navigational relation size.
