When is a functional dependency F said to be minimal?

1 Answer

Answer :

∙ We cannot replace any dependency X A in F with a dependency Y A where Y is a proper  subset of X and still have a set of dependency that is equivalent to F.
∙ We cannot remove any dependency from F and still have set of dependency that is  equivalent to F.
