Title
Idempotent single-predicate Horn clauses
Abstract
Previous work has addressed the issues of idempotence and boundedness for various restricted classes of Horn-clause queries. In this paper, we consider queries consisting of a single clause containing a single predicate symbol. As such, these queries are a notational variant of the full, untagged tableau queries with recursive semantics. The study of the idempotence and boundedness for single-clause, single-predicate queries has previously been restricted to the typed case. We generalize these results to obtain syntactic, polynomial-time computable characterizations of idempotence for certain classes of untyped queries.
