Abstract

This paper proves that for a strongly connected planar directed graph of size $n$, a depth-first search tree rooted at a specified vertex can be computed in $O(\log^{5}n)$ time with $n/\log{n}$ processors. Previously, for planar directed graphs that may not be strongly connected, the best depth-first search algorithm runs in $O(\log^{10}n)$ time with $n$ processors. Both algorithms run on a parallel random access machine that allows concurrent reads and concurrent writes in its shared memory, and in case of a write conflict, permits an arbitrary processor to succeed.
