Abstract :
A new parallel algorithm for the maximal independent set problem (MIS) is constructed. It runs in O(log4 n) time when implemented on a linear number of EREW-processors. This is the first deterministic algorithm for MIS whose running time is polylogarithmic and whose processor-time product is optimal up to a polylogarithmic factor.
