Monotonic Aggregation in Deductive Databases
Summary: Iterated minimal-model semantics minimizing components with aggregates (not forcing aggregates below rules), reducing undefinedness and spurious models of prior approaches. Requires monotonic/pseudo‑monotonic aggregates over complete-lattice domains to guarantee existence. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
