Automated reasoning tasks in many real-world domains involve analysis of redundancies in unsatisfiable instances of SAT. In CNF-based instances, some of the redundancies can be captured by computing a minimally unsatisfiable subset of clauses (MUS). However, the notion of MUS does not apply directly to non-clausal instances of SAT, particularly those that are represented as Boolean circuits. In this paper we identify certain types of redundancies in unsatisfiable Boolean circuits, and propose a number of algorithms to compute minimally unsatisfiable, that is, irredundant, subcircuits. © 2011 Springer-Verlag.
