Abstract

Using a new notion of reducibility, we investigate, in a model of approximate parallel computation, the behaviour of several known reductions among important problems in linear algebra. We show that, although many such problems have been proved to be NC 1 equivalent, when approximation is taken into account, new questions about their relative parallel-time complexity come up. More precisely, some known NC 1 reduction algorithms can be extended with additional special care, whereas other reductions do not extend to the approximation model.
