PANDAExpress: a Simpler and Faster PANDA Algorithm
This paper introduces PANDAExpress, a novel algorithm that eliminates the impractical polylogarithmic factor of the original PANDA framework by employing a new probabilistic inequality and a dynamic hyperplane partitioning scheme, thereby achieving optimal, specialized-algorithm-level runtimes for conjunctive queries and disjunctive datalog rules under arbitrary degree constraints while maintaining full generality.
