Definition
A constraint C is convertible if and only if C is convertible antimonotone or convertible monotone. A constraint C is convertible antimonotone provided there is an order R on items such that when an ordered itemset S satisfies constraint C, so does any prefix of S. A constraint C is convertible monotone provided there is an order R′ on items such that when an ordered itemset S′ violates constraint C, so does any prefix of S′.
Key Points
Although some constraints are neither antimonotone nor monotone in general, several of them can be converted into antimonotone or monotone ones by properly ordering the items. These convertible constraints [3654,3655,3] possess the following nice properties. By arranging items according to some proper order R, if an itemset S satisfies a convertible antimonotone constraint Ccam, then all...
