Abstract
Resolution underlies most state-of-the-art satisfiability-solving algorithms that are used in practice. I will start my talk by discussing this. Then I will focus on explaining some new understanding of the power of these algorithms that emerged from a novel kind of analysis of the produced proofs of unsatisfiability. The outcome is that the current standard methods for satisfiability-solving have the potential of simulating bounded-width resolution with polynomial-time overhead, provided they do random decisions and restarts often enough.
