<p>An important tool in this area is the sparsification lemma of , which shows that, for every <math>\varepsilon>0</math>, any <math>k</math>-CNF formula can be replaced by  simpler <math>k</math>-CNF formulas in which each variable appears only a constant number of times, and therefore in which the number of clauses is linear. The sparsification lemma is proven by repeatedly finding large sets of clauses that have a nonempty common intersection in a given formula, and replacing</p><p>
