Abstract

Nontrivial meta-complexity theorems, proved once for a programming language as a whole, facilitate the presentation and analysis of particular algorithms. This paper gives a new meta-complexity theorem for bottom-up logic programs that is both more general and more accurate than previous such theorems. The new theorem applies to algorithms not handled by previous meta-complexity theorems, greatly facilitating their analysis.
