As is well known, the strategy of divide-and-conquer is widely used in problem solving. The method of partitioning is also a fundamental strategy for the design of a parallel algorithm. The problem of enumerating the spanning trees of a graph arises in several contexts such as computer-aided design
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
