CLASS:PUBLIC
DESCRIPTION:TITLE: NC algorithm to find perfect matching in planar graphs\
 n\nSPEAKER:\n Prashant Gokhale\n\nAFFILIATION:\n University of Waterloo\n\
 nLOCATION:\n MC 6029\n\nABSTRACT: Is perfect matching in NC? That is\, is
  there a\ndeterministic fast parallel algorithm for it? This has been an\n
 outstanding open question in theoretical computer science for over\nthree 
 decades\, ever since the discovery of RNC matching algorithms.\nWithin thi
 s question\, the case of planar graphs has remained an\nenigma: On the one
  hand\, counting the number of perfect matchings is\nfar harder than findi
 ng one (the former is #P-complete and the latter\nis in P)\, and on the ot
 her\, for planar graphs\, counting has long been\nknown to be in NC wherea
 s finding one has resisted a solution.
