Satisfiability Algorithms and Connections between Algorithms and Circuit Lower Bounds

In this thesis we study satisfiability algorithms and connections between algorithms and circuit lower bounds. We give new results in the following three areas: Oracles and Algorithmic Methods for Proving Lower Bounds: We give an equivalence between relativizing circuit lower bounds (circuit lowe...
