On the complexity of division and set joins in the relational algebra
We show that any expression of the relational division operator in the relational algebra with union, difference, projection, selection, constant-tagging, and joins, must produce ...

Laws for Rewriting Queries Containing Division Operators
Relational division, also known as small divide, is a derived operator of the relational algebra that realizes a many-to-one set containment test, where a set is represented as a ...

A Relational Algebra for Complex Objects Based on Partial Information
We study an approach to relational databases which treats relations not as subsets of a Cartesian product but as subsets of some domain { a partially ordered space of descriptions...

Optimizing relational algebra operations using generic equivalence discriminators and lazy products
We show how to efficiently evaluate generic map-filter-product queries, generalizations of select-project-join (SPJ) queries in relational algebra, based on a combination of two...

Semiring induced valuation algebras: Exact and approximate local computation algorithms
Local computation in join trees or acyclic hypertrees has been shown to be linked to a particular algebraic structure, called valuation algebra. There are many models of this alge...
