5. Reduction

For large nets, it may become impossible to calculate the entire state graph. To make it smaller, you can reduce the net step by step. In a reduction step a sub-net is replaced by another sub-net (generally with fewer places) in such a way that the net characteristics of liveness, non-liveness, boundedness and non-boundedness are preserved.
