Abstract

Sharpening an argument in (Cook and Luby, 1988), we show that the problem of recognizing refutable propositional logic formulas in conjunctive normal form with two disjuncts is monotonic p-projection equivalent to the problem st-DCON of directed connectivity between two distinguished vertices s, t of a directed graph. It follows by (Karchmer and Wigderson, 1990) that the monotonic depth of bounded fan-in boolean circuits for 2- ref is Θ(log 2( n)).
