Abstract

A k-tree core of a tree network is a subtree with exactly k leaves that minimizes the total distance from vertices to the subtree. A k-tree center of a tree network is a subtree with exactly k leaves that minimizes the distance from the farthest vertex to the subtree. In this paper, two efficient parallel algorithms are proposed for finding a k-tree core and a k-tree center of a tree network, respectively. Both the proposed algorithms perform on the EREW PRAM in O(log n log* n) time using O(n) work (time-processor product). Besides being efficient on the EREW PRAM, in the sequential case, our algorithm for finding a k-tree core of a tree network improves the two algorithms previously proposed in [10].
