Abstract

It is by now folklore that the bottom-up evaluation of a program after the “magic set” transformation is “as efficient as” top-down evaluation. There are a number of formalizations of this in the literature. However, the naive formalization is false: As shown by Ross, SLD-resolution can be much more efficient than bottom-up evaluation with magic sets on tail-recursive programs.
