These are characterized by modifying a CNF formula in ways that preserve satisfiability but not necessarily logical truth. ...
We then show that any DPR (DRAT) proof can be seen as a truth preserving proof in overwrite logic. ...

Exploiting recent progress in unsatisfiability proofs of SAT solvers, we produced and verified a proof in the DRAT format, which is almost 200 terabytes in size. ...
The boolean Pythagorean Triples problem has been a longstanding open problem in Ramsey Theory: Can the set N = {1, 2, ...} of natural numbers be divided into two parts, such that no part contains a triple ...

We give an exposition of a very simple unpublished proof of Manindra Agrawal whose ideas appear in Agrawal-Arvind ("Geometric sets of low information content," Theoret. Comp. Sci., 1996). ...
To this author, the fact that sparsity results on NP-complete sets have an application to classical questions in representation theory says that they are not only a gem of classical theoretical computer ...
Certainly I am not the only person aside from Agrawal to have been aware of this proof; at the very least Thomas Thierauf was also aware, and was very supportive of writing it up. ...
