The Space Complexity of Cutting Planes Refutations

This is in contrast to the weaker resolution proof system, for which the analogous space measure has been well-studied and many optimal lower bounds are known. ...
Results for cutting planes with small coefficients The constant space refutations in Theorem 5 use coefficients as big as 2 n , and these seem to be necessary for our proof technique to work. ...

Semantic Versus Syntactic Cutting Planes
2016
Symposium on Theoretical Aspects of Computer Science
First, we show that the lower bound technique of [22] applies also to semantic cutting planes: the proof system has feasible interpolation via monotone real circuits, which gives an exponential lower bound ...
In particular, we give a formula for which any refutation in syntactic cutting planes requires exponential length, while there is a polynomial length refutation in semantic cutting planes. ...
A lower bound for cutting planes with small coefficients was obtained by [4] and [18] , and [14] gave a lower bound for the tree-like version of the system. ...

Finally, we prove linear lower bounds on the rank of Stabbing Planes refutations by adapting lower bounds in communication complexity and use these bounds in order to show that Stabbing Planes proofs cannot ...
We develop a new semi-algebraic proof system called Stabbing Planes which formalizes modern branch-and-cut algorithms for integer programming and is in the style of DPLL-based modern SAT solvers. ...
This allowed them to lift the exponential lower bounds on Cutting Planes proofs [36, 39, 48, 67] to SP * , and even to SP proofs with coefficients of size exp(n δ ) for some constant δ < 1. ...

A Rank Lower Bound for Cutting Planes Proofs of Ramsey's Theorem

ACM Transactions on Computation Theory
In particular we focus on the propositional proof system cutting planes; we prove that the upper bound "r(k, k) ≤ 4 k " requires cutting planes proof of high rank. ...
We study the complexity of proving upper bounds for the number r(k, k). ...
Lower bounds for more natural formulas exist for cutting plane proofs of restricted forms (e.g. when the numeric coefficients are small [6] or the proof is tree-like [19] ). ...
