Abstract: Some Topics in Parallel Computation and Branching Programs by Rakesh Kumar Sinha Chairperson of the Supervisory Committee: Professor Paul Beame Department of Computer Science and Engineering There are two parts of this thesis: the first part gives two constructions of branching programs; the second part contains three results on models of parallel machines. The branching program model has turned out to be very useful for understanding the computational behavior of problems. In addition,... (Update)
