โฆ Synopsis
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)-vertex cograph (G) represented by its parse tree as input, our algorithm finds a maximum matching in (G) in (O(\log n)) time using (O(n / \log n)) processors in the EREW-PRAM model. 01994 Academic Press, Inc.

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
The P 4 -tidy graphs were introduced by I. Rusu to generalize some already known classes of graphs with few induced P 4 (cographs, P 4 -sparse graphs, P 4 -lite graphs). Here, we propose an extension of R. Lin and S. Olariu's work (1994. J. Parallel Distributed Computing 22, 26 36.) on cographs, usi
In this paper we describe optimal processor-time parallel algorithms for set operations such as union, intersection, comparison on quadtrees. The algorithms presented in this paper run in \(O(\log\) \(N\) ) time using \(N / \log N\) processors on a shared memory model of computation that allows conc
