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 and Binary Decision Diagrams Cannot Simulate Each Other Polynomially
There are many different ways of proving formulas in proposition logic. Many of these can easily be characterized as forms of resolution (e.g. [12] and [9]). Others use so-called...

A Study of Proof Search Algorithms for Resolution and Polynomial Calculus
This paper is concerned with the complexity of proofs and of searching for proofs in two propositional proof systems: Resolution and Polynomial Calculus (PC). For the former syste...

Ordered Binary Decision Diagrams, Pigeonhole Formulas and Beyond
Groote and Zantema proved that a particular OBDD computation of the pigeonhole formula has exponential size, and that limited OBDD derivations cannot simulate resolution polynomia...

Lower Bounds for the Weak Pigeonhole Principle Beyond Resolution
We work with an extension of Resolution, called Res(2), that allows clauses with conjunctions of two literals. In this system there are rules to introduce and eliminate such conju...
