Applications of parallel scheduling to perfect graphs. Technical report

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6978660

The authors combine a parallel algorithm for the two processor-scheduling problem, which runs in polylog time on a polynomial number of processors, with an algorithm to find transitive orientations of graphs where they exist. Both algorithms together solve the maximum-clique problem and the maximum-coloring problem for co-comparability graphs. These parallel algorithms can also be used to identify permutation graphs and interval graphs, important subclasses of perfect graphs.
