We present a simple and implementable algorithm that computes a minimum spanning tree of an undirected weighted graph \(G=(V, E)\) of \(n=|V|\) vertices and \(m=|E|\) edges on an EREW PRAM in \(O\left(\log ^{3 / 2} n\right)\) time using \(n+m\) processors. This represents a substantial improvement i

We describe an efficient algorithm for maintaining a minimum spanning tree (MST) in a graph subject to a sequence of edge weight modifications. The sequence of minimum spanning trees is computed offline, after the sequence of modifications is known. The algorithm takes time \(O(k \log n)\) for a seq
We study the expected performance of Prim's minimum spanning tree (MST) algorithm implemented using ordinary heaps. We show that this implementation runs in linear or almost linear expected time on a wide range of graphs. This helps to explain why Prim's algorithm often beats MST algorithms which ha
We present a deterministic parallel algorithm on the EREW PRAM model to verify a minimum spanning tree of a graph. The algorithm runs on a graph with n vertices and m edges in O(logn) time and O(m + n) work. The algorithm is a parallelization of King's linear time sequential algorithm for the proble
