LpBound: Pessimistic Cardinality Estimation using ℓp-Norms of Degree Sequences

Summary: LpBound yields upper bound on multi-join cardinalities via lp-norms of degree sequences; solved by an LP with data stats. Two optimizations exploit query structure to speed estimation; it beats traditional ML estimators in accuracy with comparable cost. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
