On the Complexity of Hmelevskii's Theorem and Satisfiability of Three Unknown Equations
Abstract. We analyze Hmelevskii's theorem, which states that the general solutions of constant-free equations on three unknowns are expressible by a finite collection of formu...

Circuit Complexity and Multiplicative Complexity of Boolean Functions
In this note, we use lower bounds on Boolean multiplicative complexity to prove lower bounds on Boolean circuit complexity. We give a very simple proof of a 7n/3 − c lower bound ...

Natural proofs
Razborov and Rudich have shown that so-called natural proofs are not useful for separating P from NP unless hard pseudorandomnumber generators do not exist. This famous result is ...

TIGUAN: Thread-Parallel Integrated Test Pattern Generator Utilizing Satisfiability ANalysis
We present the automatic test pattern generator TIGUAN based on a thread-parallel SAT solver. Due to a tight integration of the SAT engine into the ATPG algorithm and a carefully ...
