An Algorithm For Minimizing Roll Back Cost

Summary: Formalizes selecting one savepoint per active transaction after a soft crash to minimize total recovery cost given concurrent execution and periodically retained savepoints. Presents a provably optimal algorithm (with correctness proof) and notes triviality when cascading restarts are disallowed. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
