4NF Decomposition for Functional and Multivalued Dependency Sets

4NF Decomposition is the problem of decomposing a relation schema into fourth normal form (4NF). This variation specifies that the input dependency set has only functional and multivalued dependencies. A relation schema RR^* is in fourth normal form (4NF) if, whenever a nontrivial multivalued dependency XYX \rightarrow Y holds for RR^*, then so does the functiunal dependency XAX \rightarrow A for every column name AA of RR^*. Intuitively all dependencies are the result of keys. In particular a 4NF relation schema can have no nontrivial multivalued dependencies that are not functional dependencies.
