Abstract

In this paper, we first present an O(|V| + |E|)-time sequential algorithm to solve the Hamiltonian problem on a distance-hereditary graph G = (V, E). This algorithm is faster than the previous best result which takes O(|V|2) time. Let T d (|V|, |E|) and P d (|V|, |E|) denote the parallel time and processor complexities, respectively, required to construct a decomposition tree of a distance-hereditary graph on a PRAM model M d . We also show that this problem can be solved in O(T d (|V|, |E|) + log|V|) time using O(P d (|V|, |E|) + (|V| + |E|)/log|V|) processors on M d . Moreover, if G is represented by its decomposition tree form, the problem can be solved optimally in O(log |V|) time using O((|V| + |E|)/log|V|) processors on an EREW PRAM.
