AbstractÐGiven a graph q Y i with n vertices and m edges, the k-connectivity of q denotes either the k-edge connectivity or the k-vertex connectivity of q. In this paper, we deal with the fully dynamic maintenance of k-connectivity of q in the parallel setting for k PY Q. We study the problem of maintaining k-edge/vertex connected components of a graph undergoing repeatedly dynamic updates, such as edge insertions and deletions, and answering the query of whether two vertices are included in the same k-edge/ vertex connected component. Our major results are the following: 1) An NC algorithm for the 2-edge connectivity problem is proposed, which runs in ylog n logman time using yn QaR processors per update and query.2) It is shown that the biconnectivity problem can be solved in ylog P n time using ynPnY na log n processors per update and yI time with a single processor per query or in ylog n log m n time using ynPnY na log n processors per update and ylog n time using ynPnY na log n processors per query, where XY X is the inverse of Ackermann's function. 3) An NC algorithm for the triconnectivity problem is also derived, which takes ylog n log m n log n log log naQnY n time using ynQnY na log n processors per update and yI time with a single processor per query. 4) An NC algorithm for the 3-edge connectivity problem is obtained, which has the same time and processor complexities as the algorithm for the triconnectivity problem. To the best of our knowledge, the proposed algorithms are the first NC algorithms for the problems using yn processors in contrast to m processors for solving them from scratch. In particular, the proposed NC algorithm for the 2-edge connectivity problem uses only yn QaR processors. All the proposed algorithms run on a CRCW PRAM.Index TermsÐNC algorithms, 2-edge/vertex connectivity, 3-edge/vertex connectivity, dynamic data structures, parallel algorithm design and analysis, graph problems.
