Let FD: \(X\to Y\) denote a functional dependency and let F denote a set of FDs. An FD: \(X\to Y\) is said to be closed if Y is the closure of X under F. A cover is closed if each FD is closed. The main theoretical result states that a closed, nonredundant cover is a minimum cover. A simple algorithm is presented to compute a minimum cover for F.
