TransformationFunctions

TransformationFunctions
is an option for Simplify and FullSimplify which gives the list of functions to apply to try to transform parts of an expression.

The default setting TransformationFunctions->Automatic uses a built-in collection of transformation functions.

TransformationFunctions->{Automatic, f₁, f₂, ...} uses built-in transformation functions together with the functions f_i.

Specify that Simplify should use t as the only transformation:

Here Simplify uses both t and all built-in transformations:

By default FullSimplify does not use Reduce:

Specify that FullSimplify should use Reduce with respect to x over the real domain:
