The paper proposes dynamic parallel algorithms for connectivity and bipartiteness of undirected graphs that require constant time and O(n^1/2+ϵ) work on the CRCW PRAM model. The work of these algorithms almost matches the work of the O(log n) time algorithm for connectivity by Kopelowitz et al. (2018) on the EREW PRAM model and the time of the sequential algorithm for bipartiteness by Eppstein et al. (1997). In particular, we show that the sparsification technique, which has been used in both mentioned papers, can in principle also be used for constant time algorithms in the CRCW PRAM model, despite the logarithmic depth of sparsification trees.
