Abstract

We present a system for deriving inclusions between graphs from a set of inclusions between graphs taken as hypotheses. The novel features are the extended notion of graph with an explicitly representation of complement, the more involved definition of the system, and its completeness proof due to the embedding of complements. This is an improvement on former work, where complement was introduced by definition. Our calculus provides a basis on which one can construct a wide range of graph calculi for several algebras of relations.
