A Knowledge Theoretic Analysis of Atomic Commitment Protocols (Preliminary Report)
Summary: Apply logic-of-knowledge to characterize atomic-commit protocols by the minimal knowledge required to decide commit; show 2PC is knowledge-optimal among all AC protocols and 3PC is optimal among non-blocking ACs. Prove no non-blocking AC can tolerate communication failures and derive a lower bound on messages needed to commit. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
