Extending Graph Patterns with Conditions

Summary: CGPs extend graph patterns with per-edge conditions, so edges exist only if the condition holds, enabling missing-link detection and richer dependencies in compact form. Complexity: linear-time for consistency; NP-complete for matching; NP^p-complete for incremental matching; Pi2-complete for containment; plus practical CGP/multi-CGP matching and incremental optimization with empirical validation on real and synthetic graphs.
