 Lower bounds for both resolution and a stronger system are shown here by proving that interpolants can be exponential,​ and that interpolants are polynomial in proof size (see [[Interpolants from Resolution Proofs]]): Lower bounds for both resolution and a stronger system are shown here by proving that interpolants can be exponential,​ and that interpolants are polynomial in proof size (see [[Interpolants from Resolution Proofs]]):
