Efficient Combination of Decision Procedures for MUS Computation
In recent years, the problem of extracting a MUS (Minimal Unsatisfiable Subformula) from an unsatisfiable CNF has received much attention. Indeed, when a Boolean formula is proved ...

Hardness of Minimizing and Learning DNF Expressions
We study the problem of finding the minimum size DNF formula for a function f : {0, 1}d → {0, 1} given its truth table. We show that unless NP ⊆ DTIME(npoly(log n) ), there i...

Hardness Amplification in Proof Complexity
We present a generic method for converting any family of unsatisfiable CNF formulas that require large resolution rank into CNF formulas whose refutation requires large rank for p...

Schaefer's theorem for graphs
Schaefer's theorem is a complexity classification result for so-called Boolean constraint satisfaction problems: it states that every Boolean constraint satisfaction problem ...

Computing Information Minimal Match Explanations for Logic-Based Matchmaking
Abstract—In semantic matchmaking processes it is often useful, when the obtained match is not full, to provide explanations for the mismatch, to leverage further interaction and/...
