چکیده

Let G =< V,E > be a connected graph with real-valued edge weights: w : E → R, having n vertices and m edges. A spanning tree in G is an acyclic subgraph of G that includes every vertex of G and is connected; every spanning tree has exactly n− 1 edges. A minimum spanning tree (MST) is a spanning tree of minimum weight which is defined to be the sum of the weights of all its edges. Our problem is to find the MST of G.

Counting the number of spanning trees of graphs

A spanning tree of graph G is a spanning subgraph of G that is a tree. In this paper, we focus our attention on (n,m) graphs, where m = n, n + 1, n + 2, n+3 and n + 4. We also determine some coefficients of the Laplacian characteristic polynomial of fullerene graphs.

Representing all Minimum Spanning Trees with Applications to Counting and Generation

We show that for any edge-weighted graph G there is an equivalent graph EG such that the minimum spanning trees of G correspond one-for-one with the spanning trees of EG. The equivalent graph can be constructed in time O(m + n log n) given a single minimum spanning tree of G. As a consequence we can count the minimum spanning trees of G in time O(m+ n), generate a random minimum spanning tree i...

Summary of “A Distributed Algorithm for Minimum-Weight Spanning Trees”

This document summarizes the article published by Gallagerher et. al on “A Distributed Algorithm for Minimum-Weight Spanning Trees”. The asynchronous distributed algorithm determines a minimum-weight spanning tree for an undirected graph that has distinct finite weights for every edge.

Optimal Self-healing of Smart Distribution Grids Based on Spanning Trees to Improve System Reliability

In this paper, a self-healing approach for smart distribution network is presented based on Graph theory and cut sets. In the proposed Graph theory based approach, the upstream grid and all the existing microgrids are modeled as a common node after fault occurrence. Thereafter, the maneuvering lines which are in the cut sets are selected as the recovery path for alternatives networks by making ...

On the Area Requirements of Euclidean Minimum Spanning Trees

In their seminal paper on Euclidean minimum spanning trees [Discrete & Computational Geometry, 1992], Monma and Suri proved that any tree of maximum degree 5 admits a planar embedding as a Euclidean minimum spanning tree. Their algorithm constructs embeddings with exponential area; however, the authors conjectured that c × c area is sometimes required to embed an n-vertex tree of maximum degree...

Bottleneck Distances and Steiner Trees in the Euclidean d-Space

Some of the most efficient heuristics for the Euclidean Steiner minimal trees in the d-dimensional space, d ≥ 2, use Delaunay tessellations and minimum spanning trees to determine small subsets of geometrically close terminals. Their low-cost Steiner trees are determined and concatenated in a greedy fashion to obtain low cost trees spanning all terminals. The weakness of this approach is that o...
