Revisiting Graph Width Measures for CNF-Encodings
2020
The Journal of Artificial Intelligence Research
We consider bounded width CNF-formulas where the width is measured by popular graph width measures on graphs associated to CNF-formulas. ...
Such restricted graph classes, in particular those of bounded treewidth, have been extensively studied for their uses in the design of algorithms for various computational problems on CNF-formulas. ...
Acknowledgements The authors are grateful to the anonymous reviewers for their comments, which greatly helped to improve the presentation of the paper. ...

A Generalized Method for Proving Polynomial Calculus Degree Lower Bounds
[article]
2015
arXiv
pre-print
This answers an open question in [Razborov '02], and also implies that the standard CNF encoding of the FPHP formulas require exponential proof size in polynomial calculus resolution. ...
[Alekhnovich and Razborov '03] established that if the clause-variable incidence graph of a CNF formula F is a good enough expander, then proving that F is unsatisfiable requires high PC/PCR degree. ...
Acknowledgements We are grateful to Ilario Bonacina, Yuval Filmus, Nicola Galesi, Massimo Lauria, Alexander Razborov, and Marc Vinyals for numerous discussions on proof complexity in general and polynomial ...

We use this correspondence to prove a number of strong size-degree trade-offs for Nullstellensatz, which to the best of our knowledge are the first such results for this proof system. ...

SOS unsatisfiability proofs exist only for problems of bounded width [11, 25] . ...
The former holds exactly for the widely studied class of constraint languages of bounded width. ...
In [7] , such a reduction was obtained for the so-called Tseitin formulas, that encode a certain system of linear equations over Z 2 that is derived from an expander graph. ...
