Circumscription uses classical logic in order to modelize rules with exceptions and implicit knowledge. Formula circumscription
is known to be easier to use in order to modelize a situation. We describe when two sets of formulas give the same result,
when circumscribed. Two kinds of such equivalence are interesting: the ordinary one (two sets give the same circumscription)
and the strong one (when completed by any arbitrary set, the two sets give the same circumscription) which corresponds to
having the same closure for logical “and” and “or”. In this paper, we consider only the finite case, focusing on looking for
the smallest possible sets equivalent to a given set, for the two kinds of equivalence. We need to revisit a characterization
result of formula circumscription. Then, we are able to describe a way to get all the sets equivalent to a given set, and
also a way to get the smallest such sets. These results should help the automatic computation, and also the translation in
terms of circumscription of complex situations.
