Modular Acyclicity and Tail Recursion in Logic Programs
Summary: Generalize acyclicity to modular acyclicity: guarantees local stratification, unique perfect/Herbrand model MP, decidable membership, and finite semi‑naive Datalog evaluation even without duplicate elimination. Augment magic‑templates to exploit tail recursion via "nonrepeating" programs and give "weak right linearity" as a sufficient syntactic condition (proper superset of right‑linear) to improve evaluation.
