Abstract

In this paper, given a parameter k, we demonstrate an infinite class of CNFs of treewidth at most k of their primal graphs such that equivalent nondeterministic read-once branching programs (NROBPS) are of size at least nck for some universal constant c. Thus we rule out the possibility of fixed-parameter tractable space complexity of NROBPS parameterized by the smallest treewidth of equivalent CNFs.
