Hardness of Parameterized Resolution
Parameterized Resolution and, moreover, a general framework for parameterized proof complexity was introduced by Dantchev, Martin, and Szeider [16] (FOCS’07). In that paper, Dan...

Resolution cannot polynomially simulate compressed-BFS
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...

Resolution over linear equations and multilinear proofs
We develop and study the complexity of propositional proof systems of varying strength extending resolution by allowing it to operate with disjunctions of linear equations instead ...

Abelian groups and quadratic residues in weak arithmetic
We investigate the provability of some properties of abelian groups and quadratic residues in variants of bounded arithmetic. Specifically, we show that the structure theorem for...

The Efficiency of Resolution and Davis--Putnam Procedures
We consider several problems related to the use of resolution-based methods for determining whether a given boolean formula in conjunctive normal form is satisfiable. First, build...
