Abstract: We show that searching a width k maze is complete for \Pi k , i.e., for the k'th level of the AC 0 hierarchy. Equivalently, st-connectivity for width k grid graphs is complete for \Pi k . As an application, we show that there is a data structure solving dynamic st-connectivity for constant width grid graphs with time bound O(log log n) per operation on a random access machine. The dynamic algorithm is derived from the parallel one in an indirect way using algebraic tools. 1 Introduction Blum ... (Update)
