Abstract
Given sets of boolean formulas, a formula follows from the conjunction iff is unsatisfiable. Now assume that, given integers , we must check if remains unsatisfiable, where is obtained by deleting arbitrarily chosen formulas of , for each Intuitively, does {\it stably} follow, after removing random formulas from each ? We construct a quadratic reduction of this problem to the consequence problem in infinite-valued \luk\ logic \L. In this way we obtain a self-contained proof that the \L-consequence problem is coNP-complete.
