Proof compression, in proof theory, is the problem of algorithmically compressing formal proofs. The developed algorithms can be used to improve the proofs generated by automated theorem proving tools such as sat-solvers, SMT-solvers, first-order theorem provers and proof assistants.

The following algorithms are currently known:
