We propose a proof-theoretic approach for gaining evidence that certain parameterized problems are not fixedparameter tractable. We consider proofs that witness that a given prop...

Razborov and Rudich have shown that so-called natural proofs are not useful for separating P from NP unless hard pseudorandom number generators do not exist. This famous result is...
The universal Horn theory of relational Kleene algebra with tests (RKAT) is of practical interest, particularly for program semantics. We develop an (infinitary) proof system, ba...
