Notion in checking theory. The minimal domain of X is the smallest subset K of the domain(X) S, such that for any element A of S, some element B of K reflexively dominates A.
Example
In (i), the minimal domain of X is {UP, ZP, WP, YP, H}. The minimal domain of H is {UP, ZP, WP, YP}.
(i) XP1 /\ / \ UP XP2 /\ / \ ZP1 X' /\ /\ / \ / \ WP ZP2 X1 YP /\ / \ H X2
