Tractability Frontier of Data Complexity in Team Semantics

We study the data complexity of model-checking for logics with team semantics. We focus on dependence, inclusion, and independence logic formulas under both strict and lax team semantics. Our results delineate a clear tractability/intractability frontiers in data complexity of both quantifier-free and quantified formulas for each of the logics. For inclusion logic under the lax semantics, we reduce the model-checking problem to the satisfiability problem of so-called dual-Horn Boolean formulas. Via this reduction, we give an alternative proof for the known result that the data complexity of inclusion logic is in PTIME.
