We show that Shuffle(x,y,w), the problem of determining whether a string w can be composed from an order preserving shuffle of strings x and y, is not in AC 0, but it is in AC 1. The fact that shuffle is not in AC 0 is shown by a reduction of parity to shuffle and invoking the seminal result [FSS84, while the fact that it is in AC 1 is implicit in the results of [Man82a]. Together, the two results provide a strong complexity bound for this combinatorial problem. © 2013 Springer-Verlag.
