Discovering Graph Functional Dependencies

Summary: Discovering Graph Functional Dependencies (GFDs) for graphs; implication and satisfiability are fixed-parameter tractable, yet validation is co-W[1]-hard. Introduces reduced GFDs and support; scalable parallel discovery and cover computation on large graphs. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
