An On-Line Parallel Algorithm for Node Ranking of Trees

TLDR
A parallel algorithm to find an on-line node ranking for general tree with using O (n 3 / log2 n ) processors on CREW PRAM model is presented.
Abstract
A node ranking of a graph G = (V , E ) is a proper node coloring C : V ****** such that any path in G with end nodes x , y fulfilling C (x ) = C (y ) contains an internal node z with C (z ) > C (x ). In the on-line version of the node ranking problem, the nodes v 1 , v 2 ,..., v n are coming one by one in an arbitrary order; and only the edges of the induced subgraph G [{v 1 , v 2 ,..., v i }] are known when the color for the node v i be chosen. And the assigned color can not be changed later. In this paper, we present a parallel algorithm to find an on-line node ranking for general tree. Our parallel algorithm needs O (n log2 n ) time with using O (n 3 / log2 n ) processors on CREW PRAM model.
