D(K)-Index: An Adaptive Structural Summary for Graph-Structured Data

Summary: D(k)-index: adaptive, bisimilarity-based structural summary for graph data; generalizes 1-index and A(k)-index. It tunes the index to the current query workload for faster path queries and updates; experiments show improvement over static summaries. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
