An independent set I-c is a critical independent set if vertical bar I-c vertical bar - vertical bar N(I-c)vertical bar >= vertical bar J vertical bar - vertical bar N(J)vertical bar, for any independent set J. The critical independence number of a graph is the cardinality of a maximum critical independent set. This number is a lower bound for the independence number and can be computed in polynomial-time. The existing algorithm runs in O(n(2.5) root m/log n) time for a graph G with n = vertical bar V(G)vertical bar vertices and m edges. It is demonstrated here that there is a parallel algorithm using n processors that runs in O(n(1.5) root m/log n) time. The new algorithm returns the union of all maximum critical independent sets. The graph induced on this set is a Konig-Egervary graph whose components are either isolated vertices or which have perfect matchings. |
