Abstract

We present the first parallel algorithms that decide strong and branching bisimilarity in linear time. More precisely, if a transition system has n states, m transitions and | Act| action labels, we introduce an algorithm that decides strong bisimilarity in O(n+ | Act|) time on max (n, m) processors and an algorithm that decides branching bisimilarity in O(n+ | Act|) time using up to max (n2, m, | Act| n) processors.
