Original Kurzfassung:
This paper develops techniques for efficiently detecting redundancies
in CNF formulas. We introduce the concept of hidden literals, resulting in the
novel technique of hidden literal elimination. We develop a practical simplification
algorithm that enables ?Unhiding? various redundancies in a unified framework.
Based on time stamping literals in the binary implication graph, the algorithm
applies various binary clause based simplifications, including techniques
that, when run repeatedly until fixpoint, can be too costly. Unhiding can also be
applied during search, taking learnt clauses into account. We show that Unhiding
gives performance improvements on real-world SAT competition benchmarks.
