Abstract: Consider the Gaussian Elimination algorithm with the well-known Partial Pivoting strategy for improving numerical stability (GEPP). Vavasis proved that the problem of determining the pivot sequence used by GEPP is log space-complete for P, and thus inherently sequential. Assuming P 6= NC, we prove here that either the latter problem cannot be solved in parallel time O(N 1=2\Gammaffl ) or all the problems in P admit polynomial speedup. Here N is the order of the input matrix and ffl is any... (Update)
