Overview:
The paper considers the problem of computing a maximal independent set in hypergraphs (see [Karp, Ramachandran 88] and [Beame, Luby 89]). We present an efficient deterministic parallel algorithm for the case when the maximal cardinality of any hyperedge is 3. The algorithm works in O((log superscript 4) n) parallel time with O(n + m) processors on a CREW PRAM and is optimal up to a polylogarithmic factor.
