We show that neither Resolution nor tree-like Resolution is automatizable unless the class W[P] from the hierarchy of parameterized problems is fixed-parameter tractable by randomi...
We study classes of propositional contradictions based on the Least Number Principle (LNP) in the refutation system of Resolution and its generalisations with bounded conjunction, ...
We analyze the complexity of propositional kernel resolution (del Val 1999), a general method for obtaining logical consequences in restricted target languages. Different choices ...
We study the complexity of sequentially-optimal classical planning, and discover new problem classes for whose such optimization is tractable. The results are based on exploiting ...
