I am revising a document based on the referee's comments. They wanted a list of things to add to a paper otherwise full of mathematical and textual material in just 14 pages using the ieeetran
class.
Is there any method for making ieeetran
produce a more condensed output? Are there any strategies for making a manuscript more condense while preserving the same material?

document class, it's presumably because the journal requires you to do so. You should not fiddle with the page size, font size, line spacing, and other parameters that affect how much material can be placed on a given page. The most you can do, really, is to check back with the journal's editorial staff and ask them if you're allowed to use either a different document class or a different page layout. Realistically, though, you should be concentrating your efforts on identifying all parts of the document that may be either shortened or omitted altogether.\renewcommand\baselinestretch{0.98}
(the value has to be very close to 1) into the preamble may give you enough extra space while not changing the appearance too much.
