Re: [Jack-Devel] graph simplification using mathematics?

Yes indeed : a starting point here : Sarah Denoux, Yann Orlarey, Stéphane Letz, Dominique Fober, CALCUL D’UNE EXPRESSION FAUST ÉQUIVALENTE À PARTIR D’UN GRAPHE D’APPLICATIONS

http://jim2016.gmea.net/actes
 
(although in french)

And in function here : http://faust.grame.fr/faustplayground/ when you export the final equivalent patch.
