Title
Understanding Cutting Planes for QBFs.
Abstract
We study the cutting planes system CP+∀red for quantified Boolean formulas (QBF), obtained by augmenting propositional Cutting Planes with a universal reduction rule, and analyse the proof-theoretic strength of this new calculus. While in the propositional case, Cutting Planes is of intermediate strength between resolution and Frege, our findings here show that the situation in QBF is slightly more complex: while CP+∀red is again weaker than QBF Frege and stronger than the CDCL-based QBF resolution systems Q-Res and QU-Res, it turns out to be incomparable to even the weakest expansion-based QBF resolution system ∀Exp+Res. A similar picture holds for a semantic version semCP+∀red.
