摘要
This paper considers the problem of computing a maximal independent set in a hypergraph. We present an efficient deterministic NC algorithm for finding a maximal independent set in a hypergraph of dimension 3: the algorithm runs in time O(log4n) time on n + m processors of an EREW PRAM and is optimal up to a polylogarithmic factor. Our algorithm adapts the technique of Goldberg and Spencer for finding a maximal independent set in a graph (or hypergraph of dimension 2). It is the first NC algorithm for finding a maximal independent set in a hypergraph of dimension greater than 2.
