Abstract
Augmented-domain simulation, such as ternary-based simulation may be utilized to approximate a reachability analysis of a model being model checked. The approximated reachability analysis may be utilized to detect design redundancies and modify the model to remove such redundancies. Design redundancies may include unobservable variables, mergeable variables and utilization of surplus domains.
