Logical Design of Relational Database Schemes
Summary: Introduce extended conflict-free (ECF) cover and prove: for FDs+MVDs an acyclic, dependency-preserving 4NF decomposition exists iff the dependency set has an ECF cover. Provide polynomial-time test and construction; specializes to FDs giving iff condition for acyclic, dependency-preserving BCNF. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
