A Generalized Transitive Closure for Relational Queries
Summary: Introduce a generalized transitive-closure operator for relational algebra based on a maximally general associative composition definable using only relational operators. Enables use of standard transitive-closure algorithms and supports selection without full materialization. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
