The MINCUT problem for graphs is to find a linear arrangement with minimum cut. The problem is NP-complete for general graphs while polynomial-time solvable for trees. The PLANAR MINCUT problem does not allow edge crossings in arrangements. We present a parallel algorithm for the PLANAR MINCUT problem for trees with n vertices, which takes O(log/sup 2/ n) time and O(n) processors in the EREW PRAM.
