Popis: A CNF formula is harder than another CNF formula with the same number of clauses if it requires a longer resolution proof. The resolution hardness numbers give for \(m=1,2,\dots \) the length of a shortest proof of a hardest formula on m clauses. We compute the first ten resolution hardness numbers, along with the corresponding hardest formulas. We achieve this by a candidate filtering and symmetry breaking search scheme for limiting the number of potential candidates for formulas and an efficient SAT encoding for computing a shortest resolution proof of a given candidate formula.
