On Designing Database Schemes Bounded or Constant-time-maintainable with respect to Functional Dependencies
Summary: Presents a formal methodology using a novel "extensibility" technique to design database schemes that are bounded under the weak-instance model with respect to functional dependencies. Also provides constructions that yield constant-time maintainable schemes. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
