Abstract

We present an efficient parallel algorithm for the tree-decomposition problem for fixed widthw. The algorithm runs in time O(log3n) and uses O(n) processors on an ARBITRARY CRCW PRAM. The sequential complexity of our tree-decomposition algorithm is O(nlog2n). The tree-decomposition algorithm enables us to construct efficient parallel algorithms for a broad class of problems, when restricted to graphs of tree-width at mostw. Many of these problems areNP-complete for general graphs.
