On parallel complexity of modular inverse

Modular inverse is not known to be in $NC$ either. How about the cases where the modulus is just $2^k +i$ where $i\in\{-1,0,1\}$? Are these cases in $NC$?

Unclear explanation of basic parallel DAG computation

Consider computation represented as a DAG, without if-then-else conditions, where nodes represent tasks and edges represent data dependencies. For example, A->B->C means that there are 3 tasks ...

Finding optimal parallelization from general weighted undirected graph

I am solving a problem of "blending" sets of overlapping images. These sets can be represented by undirected weighted graph such as this one: Each node represents an image. Overlapping images are ...

Complexity of Roman numeral evaluation

I came up with a result the other day that arbitrary length Roman numeral evaluation can be modeled as a monoid: https://gist.github.com/4542999 1) Is this a known result? 2) If not, any ...
