Abstract

We present a new parallel tree contraction scheme which takes O(log n) contraction phases to reduce a tree to its root, and implement this scheme in O(log n log log n) time using O(n/log log n) processors on an arbitrary CRCW PRAM. We then show a data structure to represent a connected distance-hereditary graph G in the form of a rooted tree. Applying our tree contraction scheme on the above data structure together with graph theoretical properties, we solve the problems of finding a minimum connected γ-dominating set and finding a minimum γ-dominating clique on G in O(log n log log n) time using O((n + m)/log log n) processors on an arbitrary CRCW PRAM, where n and m are the number of vertices and edges in G, respectively.
