We use AND-Inverter Graphs (AIGs) extended with linear constraints ({\Laig}s) as symbolic representation of the hybrid state space, and show how methods for maintaining compactness of AIGs can be lifted to support model-checking of linear hybrid systems with large discrete state spaces. This builds on a novel approach for eliminating sets of redundant constraints in such rich hybrid state representations by a suitable exploitation of the capabilities of SMT solvers, which is of independent value beyond the application context studied in this paper. We used a benchmark derived from an Airbus flap control system (containing $2^{20}$ discrete states) to demonstrate the relevance of the approach.}, bibtex = {atr021.bib}, pdf = {avacs_technical_report_021.pdf} }
