In this paper, we review recent work on the minimum labeling spanning tree problem and obtain a new worst-case ratio for the MVCA heuristic. We also present a family of graphs in which the worst-case ratio can be attained. This implies that the new ratio cannot be improved any further.
One of the fundamental problems in graph theory is to compute a minimum weight spanning tree. In this paper, a variant of spanning trees, called the minimum labeling spanning tree, is studied. The purpose is to find a spanning tree that tries to use edges that are as similar as possible. Giving each
