Question

A set of FDs for the relation R{A, B, C, D, E, F} is AB →C, C → A, BC → D,ACD → B, BE → C, EC → FA, CF → BD, D→ E. Find a minimum cover forth is set of FDs.

Solution

To find a minimum cover for the set of functional dependencies (FDs), we need to follow three steps:

  1. Left Reduction: In this step, we try to remove extraneous attributes from the left-hand side (LHS) of each FD. An attribute is extraneous if removing it does not change the closure of the set of FDs.

  2. Right Reduction: In this step, we try to remove extraneous attributes from the right-hand side (RHS) of each FD. An attribute is extraneous if removing it does not change the closure of the set of FDs.

  3. Union Rule: In this step, we combine FDs that have the same LHS.

Let's apply these steps to your set of FDs:

  1. Left Reduction:

    • AB →C, C → A, BC → D,ACD → B, BE → C, EC → FA, CF → BD, D→ E
    • After left reduction, we get: B →C, C → A, BC → D, CD → B, BE → C, EC → FA, CF → BD, D→ E
  2. Right Reduction:

    • B →C, C → A, BC → D, CD → B, BE → C, EC → FA, CF → BD, D→ E
    • After right reduction, we get: B →C, C → A, BC → D, CD → B, BE → C, EC → F, CF → B, D→ E
  3. Union Rule:

    • B →C, C → A, BC → D, CD → B, BE → C, EC → F, CF → B, D→ E
    • After applying the union rule, we get: B →C, C → A, BC → D, CD → B, BE → C, EC → F, CF → B, D→ E

So, the minimum cover for the given set of FDs is: B →C, C → A, BC → D, CD → B, BE → C, EC → F, CF → B, D→ E.
