Abstract

In this paper we first present a sequential linear algorithm for a linear arrangement problem on trees, MINSUMCUT, and then an O(log n)-time parallel algorithm for MINSUMCUT on trees, which uses n2/(logn) processors.

This research was supported by the ESPRIT BRA Program of the EC under contract no. 3075, Project ALCOM.
