A propositional proof system is automatizable if there is an algorithm that, given a tautology, produces a proof in time polynomial in the size of its smallest proof. This notion ...
We present a method to convert the construction of binary decision diagrams (BDDs) into extended resolution proofs. Besides in proof checking, proofs are fundamental to many applic...
Threshold logic is gaining prominence as an alternative to Boolean logic. The main reason for this trend is the availability of devices that implement these circuits efficiently (...

The past decade has seen clause learning as the most successful algorithm for SAT instances arising from real-world applications. This practical success is accompanied by theoreti...
Abstract. We consider the problem of test generation for Boolean combinational circuits. We use a novel approach based on the idea of treating tests as a proof encoding rather than...
