Emre Yolcu is a computer scientist whose research includes proof complexity, Boolean satisfiability and automated deduction. These subjects distinguish the existence of a short formal proof from the computational task of finding it.^[ref]

With Xinyu Wu and Marijn Heule, he studied Mycielski graphs through clausal proofs of their colouring requirements. Their work constructed short proofs in a propagation-redundancy system and compared their availability with the behaviour of automated proof search.^[ref]

Marijn Heule is a computer scientist whose work connects Boolean satisfiability solving with machine-checkable mathematical proofs. With Emre Yolcu and Xinyu Wu, he studied proofs of the colouring requirements of Mycielski graphs.^[ref]

Their study separates two questions: does a short proof exist in a specified proof system, and can an automated solver find it efficiently? Constructing and checking a proof answers the first without automatically answering the second. The distinction helps explain why stronger proof rules alone do not settle the practical difficulty of proof search.^[ref]

Xinyu Wu is a computer scientist whose research has included the theoretical foundations of quantum computing, pseudorandomness in quantum states and quantum channels. A 2021 Carnegie Mellon research profile describes this combination of tools from mathematics, physics and computer science.^[ref]

With Emre Yolcu and Marijn Heule, Wu also studied the complexity of proving colouring properties of Mycielski graphs. Their work connects short formal proofs with experiments on automated proof search.^[ref]
