Abstract
Recurrence formulations for various problems such as finding an optimal order of matrix multiplication, finding an optimal binary search tree and optimal triangulation of polygons assume a similar form. A CREW PRAM algorithm has been given to solve such dynamic programming problems. The algorithm uses O (n 6/log n ) processors and runs in O (log2 n )time. A modified algorithm is presented which reduces the processor requirement to O (n 6/log5 n ) while maintaining the same time complexity of O (log2 n )
