Abstract

Let $G$ be an undirected graph and $T$ be a spanning tree of $G$. In this paper, an efficient parallel algorithm is proposed for determining whether $T$ is an unordered depth-first search tree of $G$. The proposed algorithm runs in $O(m/p + \log m)$ time using $p$ processors on the EREW PRAM, where $m$ is the number of edges contained in $G$. It is cost-optimal and achieves linear speedup.
