Abstract
Given an unweighted planar graph G together with nets of terminals, our problem is to find a Steiner forest, i.e., vertex-disjoint trees, each of which interconnects all the terminals of a net. This paper presents four parallel algorithms for the Steiner forest problem and a related one. The first algorithm solves the problem for the case all the terminals are located on the outer boundary of G in O(log2 n) time using O(n 3/log n) processors on a CREW PRAM, where n is the number of vertices in G. The second algorithm solves the problem for the case all terminals of each net lie on one of a fixed number of face boundaries in poly-log time using a polynomial number of processors. The third solves the problem for the case all terminals lie on two face boundaries. The fourth finds a maximum number of internally disjoint paths between two specified vertices in planar graphs. Both the third and fourth run either in O(log2 n) time using O(n 6/log n) processors or in (log3 n) time using O(n 3/log n) processors.
