Abstract

Improving a long chain of works, we obtain a randomized EREW PRAM algorithm for finding the connected components of a graph G = (V, E) with n vertices and m edges in O(log n) time using an optimal number of O((m+n)/log n) processors. The result returned by the algorithm is always correct. The probability that the algorithm will not complete in O(log n) time is o(n-c) for any c>0.
