We investigate the proof complexity of modal resolution systems developed by Nalon and Dixon (J Algorithms 62(3-4):117-134, 2007) and Nalon et al. (in: Automated reasoning with analytic Tableaux and related methods-24th international conference, (TABLEAUX'15), pp 185-200, 2015), which form the basis of modal theorem proving (Nalon et al., in: Proceedings of the twenty-sixth international joint conference on artificial intelligence (IJCAI'17), pp 4919-4923, 2017). We complement these calculi by a new tighter variant and show that proofs can be efficiently translated between all these variants, meaning that the calculi are equivalent from a proof complexity perspective. We then develop the first lower bound technique for modal resolution using Prover-Delayer games, which can be used to establish "genuine" modal lower bounds for size of dag-like modal resolution proofs. We illustrate the technique by devising a new modal pigeonhole principle, which we demonstrate to require exponential-size proofs in modal resolution. Finally, we compare modal resolution to the modal Frege systems of Hrubeš (Ann Pure Appl Log 157(2-3):194-205, 2009) and obtain a "genuinely" modal separation.
我们研究了Nalon和Dixon (J Algorithms 62(3-4):117-134, 2007)和Nalon等人(in:使用分析Tableaux和相关方法的自动推理-第24届国际会议,(Tableaux '15),第195 -200页,2015)开发的模态分辨率系统的证明复杂性,这些系统构成了模态定理证明的基础(Nalon等人,in:第26届国际人工智能联合会议论文集(IJCAI'17),第4919-4923页,2017)。我们用一种新的更紧密的变体来补充这些演算,并表明证明可以在所有这些变体之间有效地转换,这意味着从证明复杂性的角度来看,演算是等效的。然后,我们使用proof - delayer游戏开发了模态分辨率的第一个下界技术,该技术可用于建立“真正的”模态下界,以证明类似dg的模态分辨率的大小。我们通过设计一个新的模态鸽子洞原理来说明该技术,我们证明了在模态分辨率中需要指数大小的证明。最后,我们将模态分辨率与hrubesi的模态Frege系统进行比较(Ann Pure apple Log 157(2-3):194- 205,2009),并获得“真正的”模态分离。
