crpq_minimization_problem (666B)
1 # CRPQ minimization problem 2 3 [Decision_problem] defined in [morvan2025homomorphism], p91: 4 - Input: a [CRPQ] Q and integer k 5 - Output: is there a [query_equivalent] [CRPQ] with at most k [atoms] which is equivalent to Q 6 7 The problem is [EXPSPACE_hard] ([morvan2025homomorphism], Theorem IV.5.2) and in [2EXPSPACE] ([CRPQ_minimization_upper_bound], [morvan2025homomorphism], Theorem IV.3.1) 8 9 In fact, by [morvan2025homomorphism] Theorem IV.5.2, it is already [EXPSPACE_hard] to determine if a [Boolean_CRPQ] with 4 variables is equivalent to a [Boolean_CRPQ] with a single atom 10 11 See also: [ucrpq_minimization_problem] 12 13 Up: [computational_problem], [CRPQ_minimization]
