A Tight Characterization of NP with 3 Query PCPs
It is known that there exists a PCP characterization of NP where the verifier makes 3 queries and has a onesided error that is bounded away from 1; and also that 2 queries do not ...

Exponential Separations between Restricted Resolution and Cutting Planes Proof Systems
We prove an exponential lower bound for tree-like Cutting Planes refutations of a set of clauses which has polynomial size resolution refutations. This implies an exponential sepa...

Automated Confluence Proof by Decreasing Diagrams based on Rule-Labelling
Decreasing diagrams technique (van Oostrom, 1994) is a technique that can be widely applied to prove confluence of rewrite systems. To directly apply the decreasing diagrams techn...
