Given a weighted graph, let W 1 ; W 2 ; W 3 ; : : : denote the increasing sequence of all possible distinct spanning tree weights. Settling a conjecture due to Kano, we prove that every spanning tree of weight W 1 is at most k ? 1 edge swaps away from some spanning tree of weight W k. Three other conjectures posed by Kano are proven for two special classes of graphs. Finally, we consider the al...
