Logic and probability theory have both a long history in science. They are mainly rooted in philosophy and mathematics, but are nowadays important tools in many other fields such...
We prove a quasi-polynomial lower bound on the size of bounded-depth Frege proofs of the pigeonhole principle PHPm n where m ´1 · 1 polylog nµn. This lower bound qualitatively ...

The technology for building dependable computing systems has advanced dramatically. Nevertheless, there is still no complete solution to building software for critical systems in w...
We address the problem of obtaining good variable orderings for the BDD representation of a system of interacting finite state machines (FSMs). Orderings are derived from the comm...
Razborov and Rudich identified an imposing barrier that stands in the way of progress toward the goal of proving superpolynomial lower bounds on circuit size. Their work on "n...
