Computational Complexity of Sequential and Parallel Algorithms
This e-book supplies a compact but entire survey of significant leads to the computational complexity of sequential algorithms. this can be by way of a hugely informative advent to the improvement of parallel algorithms, with the emphasis on non-numerical algorithms. the cloth is so chosen that the reader in lots of circumstances is ready to keep on with an analogous challenge for which either sequential and parallel algorithms are mentioned - the simultaneous presentation of sequential and parallel algorithms for fixing permitting the reader to understand their universal and distinct positive aspects.

6 (Four color theorem) Every planar graph G satisfies χ(G) ≤ 4. Four color theorem is the optimal result, K4 is a planar graph and χ(K4 ) = 4. It is however possible to give short proofs of weaker results. It is easy to see that χ(G) ≤ 6 for every planar graph G. Namely, every planar graph is 5degenerate. This implies that we can construct an ordering v1 , v2 , . . , vn of vertices of G so that vi has degree ≤ 5 in G[vi , vi+1 , . . 2. By refreshing the set of vertices of degree ≤ 5 in the remaining graph we can construct the sequence in linear time.
V5 , again c can be extended to v. Hence we may (without loss of generality) assume that c (vi ) = i. Observe the component C1,3 of G induced by vertices of colors 1 and 3 which contains v1 . We can recolor vertices of C1,3 by changing colors 1 and 3 within C1,3 , this procedure is called a Kempe change. If we are lucky and v3 ∈ C1,3 then the change results in exactly four colors 2, 3, 4, 5 being used on neighbors of v. Otherwise there is a v1 − v3 path consisting entirely of vertices colored with colors 1 and 3 in G − v, this is a Kempe chain.
Assume this is not the case. Let (G1 , G2 ) be a corresponding separation — a pair of graphs so that G1 ∪G2 = G and G1 ∩G2 = S. Let H1 = G1 − S + x + y, and simetrically H2 = G2 − S + x + y. Let P1 be a shortest x − y-path in H1 and P2 be a shortest x − y-path in P2 . As P1 is a shortest path it is induced, and a similar observation holds for P2 as well. Now P1 ∪ P2 is a cycle of length ≥ 4, and no internal vertex of P1 can be adjacent to an internal vertex of P2 , as S is a separator. The edge xy is then the only possible chord of P1 ∪ P2 .
