An Optimal Algorithm For Testing For Safety And Detecting Deadlocks In Locked Transaction Systems
Summary: Optimal algorithms for computing closures of sets of axis-aligned (rectilinear) rectangles under several closure notions. Reduction of lock-based transaction safety and deadlock detection to these geometric closures, yielding complexity-optimal concurrency-control algorithms. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
