Abstract: The situation is considered where a satisfiability problem represents for example a manufacturing specification, and thus unsatisfiability of the problem means that something is wrong with the specification. In response to this an infeasibility analysis is needed, where we consider the robust notion of "union of MUSes", that is, all clauses need to be computed, which are potentially necessary for the contradiction to arise (become necessary after some some other clauses are removed).The paper proposes a novel algorithm for this problem, proves its correctness, and provides experimental evidence for practical applicability.
