Abstract

In this paper, we propose two efficient parallel algorithms for constructing a k-tree center and a k-tree core of a tree network, respectively. Both algorithms take O(log n) time using O(n) work on the EREW PRAM. Our algorithms improve the algorithms previously proposed by Wang (IEEE Trans. Par. Dist. Sys. 1998) and Peng et al. (J. Algorithms 1993).
