Abstract

In this paper, we present an extremely simple NC algorithm for finding a minimum clique cover in a cocomparability graph. Our algorithm takes O( log   n ) time using O( n 3 +  ε ) processors on the CRCW PRAM, where  n  is the number of vertices. It is also shown that this algorithm can be applied to solve in parallel the depth-first search problem for permutation graphs. The best known DFS algorithm for the permutation graphs runs in O( log 2   n ) time on a CRCW PRAM model.
