Some Considerations About NPRIORITY(1) Without ROM

Li and Yesha ]5,6] investigated many computational time bounds of variants of parallel random access machines (PRAMS), and improved upper and lower bounds [2,3,7]. In [5,6], they proved a tight lower bound of 8(G) for PARITY on nondeterministic PRIORITY(~) (for short, NPRIORITY(~)) without ROM, which is a kind of nondeterministic concurrent-read concurrent-write PRAM. This article observes some...
