Functional Dependencies for Graphs
Summary: Proposes GFDs, a class of graph functional dependencies unifying attribute-value and topological constraints, subsuming CFDs. Complexity: coNP/NP-complete; the approach provides parallel scalable algorithms for violation detection on large graphs. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
