Abstract

Relational Coarsest Partition Problems (RCPPs) play a vital role in verifying concurrent systems. It is known that RCPPs are ${\cal P}-{\rm complete}$ and hence it may not be possible to design polylog time parallel algorithms for these problems. In this paper, we present two efficient parallel algorithms for RCPP in which its associated label transition system is assumed to have m transitions and n states. The first algorithm runs in $O(n^{1+\epsilon})$ time using ${\textstyle{m \over {n^\epsilon}}}$ CREW PRAM processors, for any fixed $\epsilon
