Absorption Law in Software Testing Methodologies

If X and Y denote the same set of paths, then the union of these sets is unaffected, therefore, 

RULE 5: X+X = X (absorption rule)

If a set consists of path names and a member of that set is added to it, the "new" name, which is already in that set of names can be ignored

Example:

If X = a+aa+abc+abcd+def

then X+a = X+aa = X+abc = X+abcd = X+def = X

It follows that any arbitrary sum of identical path expressions reduces to the same path expression
