Parallel Complexity of the Connected Subgraph Problem
This paper shows that the problem of testing whether a graph $G$ contains an induced subgraph of vertex (edge) connectivity at least $k$ is P-complete for any fixed $k \geqslant 3$. Moreover, if $k_{\...

A parallel algorithm for finding triconnected components on a CRCW PRAM is presented. The time complexity of the algorithm is $O(\log n)$, and the processor-time product is $O((m + n)\log \log n)$, where $n$ is the number of vertices and $m$ is the number of edges of the input graph. The algorithm, like other parallel algorithms for this problem, is based on open ear decomposition, but it uses a new technique, local replacement, to improve the complexity. Only the need to use the subroutines for connected components and integer sorting, for which no optimal parallel algorithm that runs in $O(\log n)$ time is known, prevents the algorithm from achieving optimality. ©1993 (Copyright) Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics
