TLDR
It is proved that testing whether a given clause is condensed is co-NP-complete and show that several problems related to clause condensing belong to complexity classes that are, probably, slightly harder than NP.

Complexity and expressive power of logic programming

TL;DR: This article surveys various complexity and expressiveness results on different forms of logic programming, in particular, propositional logic programming and datalog, but it also mentions general logic programming with function symbols.

Data exchange: getting to the core

TL;DR: The core of a structure is the smallest substructure that is also a homomorphic image of the structure, and hence the smallest universal solution, which makes the core an ideal solution for data exchange.

Complexity and expressive power of logic programming

TL;DR: The main focus is on decidable forms of logic programming, in particular propositional logic programming and datalog, but the also mention general logic programming with function symbols, and the complexity of the unification problem is addressed.

Reasoning in description logics using resolution and deductive databases

Boris Motik
TL;DR: A novel algorithm that reduces a SHIQ(D) knowledge base KB to a disjunctive datalog program DD(KB) such that KB and DD( KB) entail the same set of ground facts, and shows a performance increase in query answering over existing DL systems of one or more orders of magnitude.

A catalog of complexity classes

TL;DR: This chapter discusses the concepts needed for defining the complexity classes, a set of problems of related resource-based complexity that can be solved by an abstract machine M using O(f(n) of resource R, where n is the size of the input.

The complexity of optimization problems

TL;DR: It is shown that TRAVELING SALESPERSON and KNAPSACK are complete for OptP, and that CLIQUE and COLORING arecomplete for a subclass of OptP .
