Stratification Criteria and Rewriting Techniques for Checking Chase Termination
Summary: Extends chase-termination criteria with local stratification (LS), generalizing super-weak acyclicity and stratification-based conditions to broaden termination guarantees for TGDs. Proposes a rewriting procedure that adorns constraints to yield an equivalent augmented set plus a cyclicity flag, defining acyclic constraints (AC) that subsume LS and strengthen termination analysis.
