We introduce the parameter cutwidth for the Cutting Planes (CP) system of Gomory and Chvátal. We provide linear lower bounds on cutwidth for two simple polytopes. ConsideringCPas a propositional refutation system, one can see that the cutwidth of a CNF contradictionFis always bound above by the Resolution width ofF. We provide an example proving that the converse fails: there is anFwhich has constant cutwidth, but has Resolution widthΩ(n). Following a standard method for converting an FO sentenceψ, without finite models, into a sequence of CNFs,Fψ,n, we provide a classification theorem forCPbased on the sum cutwidth plus rank. Specifically, the cutwidth + rank ofFψ,nis bound by a constantc(depending onψonly) iffψhas no (infinite) models. This result may be seen as a relative of various gap theorems extant in the literature.
