Complexity of Propositional Proofs Under a Promise
Abstract. We study – within the framework of propositional proof complexity – the problem of certifying unsatisfiability of CNF formulas under the promise that any satisfiabl...

On extracting computations from propositional proofs (a survey)
This paper describes a project that aims at showing that propositional proofs of certain tautologies in weak proof system give upper bounds on the computational complexity of func...

Separating DAG-Like and Tree-Like Proof Systems
We show that tree-like (Gentzen’s calculus) PK where all cut formulas have depth at most a constant d does not simulate cut-free PK. Generally, we exhibit a family of sequents t...

Zero-knowledge from secure multiparty computation
A zero-knowledge proof allows a prover to convince a verifier of an assertion without revealing any further information beyond the fact that the assertion is true. Secure multipar...

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...
