Extending NC and RNC Algorithms
نویسنده
چکیده
A technique is presented by which NC and RNC algorithms for some problems can be extended into NC and RNC algorithms, respectively, that solve more general parametric problems. The technique is demonstrated on explicit bounded degree circuits. Applications include parametric extensions of the shortest-path and spanning-tree problems and, in particular, the minimum-ratio-cycle problem, showing all these problems are in NC.

Pram Models and Fundamental Parallel Algorithmic Techniques: Part Ii (randomized Algorithms)
There are many elds of algorithms design where probabilistic methods and random-ization lead to appreciable gains. In fact, randomness has emerged as a fundamental tool in the design and analysis of algorithms. It is substantially easier to obtain algorithms for many problems if we allow the use of randomness as a resource. This has been demonstrated for parallel algorithms as well. In this cha...
متن کاملAn Incremental RNC Algorithm for Generating All Maximal Independent Sets in Hypergraphs of Bounded Dimension∗
We show that for hypergraphs of bounded edge size, the problem of extending a given list of maximal independent sets is NC-reducible to the computation of an arbitrary maximal independent set for an induced sub-hypergraph. The latter problem is known to be in RNC. In particular, our reduction yields an incremental RNC dualization algorithm for hypergraphs of bounded edge size, a problem previou...
متن کاملParallel Approximation Algorithms for Maximum Weighted Matching in General Graphs
The problem of computing a matching of maximum weight in a given edge-weighted graph is not known to be P-hard or in RNC. This paper presents four parallel approximation algorithms for this problem. The first is an RNC-approximation scheme, i.e., an RNC algorithm that computes a matching of weight at least 1 − times the maximum for any given constant > 0. The second one is an NC approximation a...
متن کاملA 2-approximation NC algorithm for connected vertex cover and tree cover
The connected vertex cover problem is a variant of the vertex cover problem, in which a vertex cover is additional required to induce a connected subgraph in a given connected graph. The problem is known to be NP-hard and to be at least as hard to approximate as the vertex cover problem is. While several 2-approximation NC algorithms are known for vertex cover, whether unweighted or weighted, n...
