Efficient Skyline Computation over Low-Cardinality Domains

Summary: Introduces Lattice Skyline (LS), a new paradigm exploiting low-cardinality attribute domains, even when one attribute is high-cardinality. LS achieves linear complexity for typical dimensionalities and distribution-independent performance, outperforming dominance-based methods. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
