Parallel update of minimum spanning trees in logarithmic time. Technical report

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5814521
Parallel algorithms are presented for updating a minimum spanning tree when the cost of an edge changes or when a new node is inserted in the underlying graph. The machine model used is a parallel random access machine which allows simultaneous reads but prohibits simultaneous writes into the same memory location. The algorithms described in this paper for updating a minimum spanning tree require O(log n) time and O(n square) processors. These algorithms are efficient when compared to previously known algorithms for initial construction of a minimum spanning tree that require O(log n to the base 2) time and use O(n square) processors.
