Computational Complexity of Sequential and Parallel Algorithms (Wiley Series in Computing)

This book gives a compact yet comprehensive survey of major results in the computational complexity of sequential algorithms. This is followed by a highly informative introduction to the development of parallel algorithms, with the emphasis on non-numerical algorithms. The material is so selected that the reader in many cases is able to follow the same problem for which both sequential and parallel algorithms are discussed - the simultaneous presentation of sequential and parallel algorithms for solving enabling the reader to apprehend their common and unique features.
