We show that isomorphism of trees and outerplanar graphs can be tested in O(log n) time with n/log(n) processors on a CRCW PRAM and in O(log2n) time with n/log2n processors on an EREW PRAM. This gives the first optimal parallel algorithm for the isomorphism testing for a nontrivial class of graphs . We give also an optimal parallel algorithm for the equivalence of expressions. A related result is a general optimal and very simple parallel method of tree compression which can be applied for other problems.
