This paper is concerned with the complexity of proofs and of searching for proofs in two propositional proof systems: Resolution and Polynomial Calculus (PC). For the former syste...
A boolean formula in conjunctive normal form (CNF) F is refuted by literal?once resolution if the empty clause is inferred from F by resolving on each literal of F at most once. Li...
Level-sensitive transparent latches are widely used in high-performance sequential circuit designs. Under process variations, the timing of a transparently latched circuit will ada...
Many algorithms for Boolean satisfiability (SAT) work within the framework of resolution as a proof system, and thus on unsatisfiable instances they can be viewed as attempting to...
