Safety Of Non-Well-Locked Transaction Systems
Summary: Characterizes safety (deadlock-freedom) of non-well-locked transaction systems via necessary and sufficient conditions for two- and multi-transaction settings, applied to 2PL. Refutes conjecture in [Y2] and identifies a restricted class where it holds. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
