The standard exact algorithm, DPccp, has a worst-case running time of $O(3^n)$. This is prohibitively expensive for large queries, which are not that uncommon anymore. We develop a new algorithmic framework based on subset convolution. DPconv achieves a super-polynomial speedup over DPccp, breaking the $O(3^n)$ time-barrier for the first time. We show that the instantiation of our framework for the $C_\\max$ cost function is up to 30x faster than DPccp for large clique queries.","url_abs":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2409.08013v1","url_pdf":"https://arxiv.org/pdf/2409.08013v1.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"links_only","authors_date_abstract":"arXiv metadata, CC0 1.0 (https://info.arxiv.org/help/license), from the Kaggle arXiv metadata snapshot of 2026-09-12"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"dpconv-super-polynomially-faster-join","repo_url":"https://github.com/utndatasystems/dpconv","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":0,"mentioned_in_github":0,"framework":"none","reach":null}],"tasks":[],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
