We improve upon indirect diagonalization arguments for lower bounds on explicit problems within the polynomial hierarchy. Our contributions are summarized as follows.
We obtain the first nontrivial time-space lower bound for quantum algorithms solving problems related to satisfiability. Our bound applies to MajSAT and MajMajSAT, which are compl...
Recently, several lower bound functions are proposed for solving the MAX-2-SAT problem optimally in a branch-and-bound algorithm. These lower bounds improve significantly the perf...
In this paper we present a general logical framework for (weighted) MAX-SAT problem, and study properties of inference rules for branch and bound MAX-SAT solver. Several rules, wh...
