The Efficiency of Resolution and Davis--Putnam Procedures
We consider several problems related to the use of resolution-based methods for determining whether a given boolean formula in conjunctive normal form is satisfiable. First, build...

Hardness of Parameterized Resolution
Parameterized Resolution and, moreover, a general framework for parameterized proof complexity was introduced by Dantchev, Martin, and Szeider [16] (FOCS’07). In that paper, Dan...

Algebraic Proofs over Noncommutative Formulas
We study possible formulations of algebraic propositional proof systems operating with noncommutative formulas. We observe that a simple formulation gives rise to systems at least ...

Hardness Amplification in Proof Complexity
We present a generic method for converting any family of unsatisfiable CNF formulas that require large resolution rank into CNF formulas whose refutation requires large rank for p...
