A normal singularity $(X,x)$ over a field $k$ is terminal (resp. canonical) if $(i)$ it it is $\mathbb{Q}$-Gorenstein. and $(ii)$For any resolution of singularity $F:Y\rightarrow X$, $K_Y-f^*K_X>...

Let $(R,\mathfrak{m })$ be a three dimensional complete local ring over a field $k$ of arbitrary characteristic and let $f\in R$ and $R/f$ is a rational double point. My question is as follows. Are ...
