Practical algorithms for finding prime attributes and testing normal forms
Summary: Algorithms for testing attribute primality and normal forms with running time polynomial in the number of maximal non-determining sets (i.e., generators of the closure family) instead of all attribute subsets. Shows this parameter is small in practice, giving simple, fast implementations used in Design-By-Example. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
