Parallel (delta + 1) coloring of constant-degree graphs

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6677570

This paper presents parallel algorithms for coloring a constant-degree graph with a maximum degree of delta in (delta + 1) colors and for finding a maximal independent set in a constant-degree graph. Given a graph with n vertices, the algorithms run in O (lg*n) time on EREW PRAM with O(n) processors. The algorithms use only local communication and achieve the same complexity bounds when implemented in the distributed model of parallel computation.
