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

β¦ Synopsis
This paper presents results which improve the e ciency of parallel algorithms for computing the minimum spanning trees. For an input graph with n vertices and m edges our EREW PRAM algorithm runs in O(log n) time with O((m+n) log n) operations. Our CRCW PRAM algorithm runs in O(log n) time with O((m + n) log log n) operations. We also show that for dense graphs we can achieve O(log n) time with O(n 2 ) operations on the EREW PRAM.

## Abstract This paper proposes a distributed algorithm for reconstructing a minimumβweight spanning tree __T__β² of a network __N__β² when link addition and deletion occur in a network __N__ with a minimumβweight spanning tree __T.__ In this algorithm each processor uses information whose adjacent l
