Regular resolution for CNF of bounded incidence treewidth with few long clauses
We demonstrate that Regular Resolution is FPT for two restricted families of CNFs of bounded incidence treewidth. The first includes CNFs having at most p clauses whose removal results in a CNF of primal treewidth at most k. The parameters we use in this case are p and k. The second class includes CNFs of bounded one-sided (incidence) treewdth, a new parameter generalizing both primal treewidth and incidence pathwidth. The parameter we use in this case is the one-sided treewidth.
