2、as algorithm Conclusion5Introduction The minimum spanning tree problem is one of the oldest and most basic graph problems in theoretical computer science. Its history dates back to Boruvkas algorithm in 1926 and till to day it is a extensively researched problem with new breakthroughs only recently.

3、 6Problem Definition All the graphs in this report are finite,simple,and undirected. We denote by n the number of vertices, m the number of edges in a graph G=(V,E). Our graphs are weighted,w(e)denoting the distinct weight of the edge e.7Problem Definition A spanning tree in G is an acyclic subgraph

4、 of G that includes every vertex of G and is connected; every spanning tree has exactly n-1 edges. The weight of a tree is defined to be the sum of the weights of its edges. A minimum spanning tree (MST) is a spanning tree of minimum weight.8MSTP: The Minimal Spanning Tree problem (MSTP)is: Input: A

8、 vertices, whose total weight is minimal. For a n-degree complete graph, there are spanning trees . Then the central open question is: Does there exist a linear time deterministic algorithm that finds the minimal spanning tree? 13MSTP The MSTP is one of the best-studied problems in combinatorial opt

A variety of algorithms have been developed for this problem, most of which are based on a greedy strategy and run in near-linear O(m log n) time, e.g.,Boruvkas algorithm , Kruskals algorithm , Prims algorithm.14Boruvkas algorithm The first MST algorithm was devised by Boruvka ,the algori

10、thm is based on the greedy strategy. The basic step in Boruvkas algorithm is the heart of many MST algorithms till to day. 15Boruvkas algorithmV we start with one-vertex trees; for each vertex v, we look for an edge(vw) of minimum weight among all edges outgoing from v create small trees by includin

Boruvkas algorithm thus reduces the MST problem in an n-vertex graph with m edges to the MST problem in an (n/2)-vertex graph with at most m edges. The time required for the reduction is only O(m+n). It follows that t
