Exponential Separations between Restricted Resolution and Cutting Planes Proof Systems
We prove an exponential lower bound for tree-like Cutting Planes refutations of a set of clauses which has polynomial size resolution refutations. This implies an exponential sepa...

On the Relative Complexity of Resolution Refinements and Cutting Planes Proof Systems
An exponential lower bound for the size of tree-like cutting planes refutations of a certain family of conjunctive normal form (CNF) formulas with polynomial size resolution refuta...

An exponential separation between regular and general resolution
: This paper gives two distinct proofs of an exponential separation between regular resolution and unrestricted resolution. The previous best known separation between these systems...

Improved Lower Bounds for Tree-Like Resolution over Linear Inequalities
Abstract. We continue a study initiated by Kraj´ıˇcek of a Resolutionlike proof system working with clauses of linear inequalities, R(CP). For all proof systems of this kind Kra...
