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...
We shall discuss several situations in which it is possible to extract from a proof, be it a proof in a first-order theory or a propositional proof, some feasible computational inf...
In recent work Baader has shown that a certain description logic with conjunction, existential quantification and with circular definitions has a polynomial time subsumption pro...
Unless we resolve the P vs NP question, we are unable to say whether there is an algorithm (acceptor) that accepts Boolean tautologies in polynomial time and does not accept non-ta...
The IP theorem, which asserts that IP = PSPACE (Lund et. al., and Shamir, in J. ACM 39(4)), is one of the major achievements of complexity theory. The known proofs of the theorem ...
