Commutativity And Its Role In The Processing Of Linear Recursion

Summary: Analyzes commutativity in linear recursion for query processing; gives a polynomial-time test and a sufficient condition for two linear, restricted rules to commute. Centers commutativity in separable recursion and redundant predicates via algebraic structure. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
