LpBound in Action: Cardinality Estimation with One-Sided Guarantees

Summary: LpBound gives guaranteed upper bounds on query cardinalities via l_p-norm statistics and a linear-program leveraging Shannon and information inequalities. A browser UI exposes bounds and lets researchers compare JOB, STATS, and Subgraph Matching. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
