The class of cographs, or complement-reducible graphs, arises naturally in many different areas of applied mathematics and computer science. We show that the problem of finding a maximum matching in a cograph can be solved optimally in parallel by reducing it to parenthesis matching. With an \(n\)-v

โฆ Synopsis
A ranking of a graph G is a mapping, p, from the vertices of G to the natural numbers such that for every path between any two vertices u and u, uf II, with p(u) = p(u), there exists at least one vertex w on that path with p(w) > p(u) = p(u). The value p(u) of a vertex u is the rank of vertex II. A ranking is optimal if the largest rank assigned is the smallest among all rankings. The optimal ranking problem on a graph G is the problem of finding an optimal ranking on G.
We persent a parallel algorithm which needs O(log n) time and n/ log n processors on the EREW PRAM model for this problem on cographs.

First we give an optimal EREW PRAM algorithm that finds an unknown discrete monotone function f, with domain and range of size n, in O(log n) time using O(n) independent threshold queries of kind "f(x) > y?". Here "independent" means that simultaneous queries always refer to mutually disjoint values
We present an optimal parallel algorithm for the single-source shortest path problem for permutation graphs. The algorithm runs in \(O(\log n)\) time using \(O(n / \log n)\) processors on an EREW PRAM. As an application, we show that a minimum connected dominating set in a permutation graph can be f
