We investigate Prim's standard ''tree-growing'' method for finding a minimum spanning tree, when applied to a network in which all degrees are about d and the edges e ลฝ . have independent identically distributed random weights w e . We find that when the kth ' ลฝ . edge e is added to the current tree
We give a tight analysis of the greedy algorithm introduced by Krumke and Wirth for the minimum label spanning tree problem. The algorithm is shown to be a (ln(n -1) + 1)-approximation for any graph with n nodes (n > 1), which improves the known performance guarantee 2 ln n + 1.
