Unsatisfiable Linear CNF Formulas Are Large and Complex
We call a CNF formula linear if any two clauses have at most one variable in common. We show that there exist unsatisfiable linear k-CNF formulas with at most 4k2 4k clauses, and ...

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...

Narrow proofs may be spacious: separating space and width in resolution
The width of a resolution proof is the maximal number of literals in any clause of the proof. The space of a proof is the maximal number of clauses kept in memory simultaneously if...

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...
