Given a simple graph G with n vertices and m edges, the spanning tree problem is to find a spanning tree for a given graph G. This problem has many applications, such as electric power systems, computer network design and circuit analysis. For a simple graph, the spanning tree problem can be solved in O(log n) time with O(m+n) processors on the CRCW PRAM. In general, it is known that more efficient parallel algorithms can be developed by restricting classes of graphs. In this paper, we shall propose a parallel algorithm which runs O(log n) time with O(n/log n) processors on the EREW PRAM for constructing on proper circle trapezoid graphs.
