<p><b>New page</b></p><div>Notion in [[checking theory]]. The minimal residue of X is the smallest subset K of the [[residue]](X) S, such that for any element A of S, some element B of K reflexively dominates A.<br />
<br />
=== Example ===<br />
<br />
In (i), the residue of X is ZP, UP, WP, H and whatever these categories dominate. The minimal residue of X is just {ZP, UP, WP, H}. The minimal residue of H is {UP, ZP, WP}.<br />
