  2. Prim's algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prim's_algorithm

    A demo for Prim's algorithm based on Euclidean distance. In computer science, Prim's algorithm is a greedy algorithm that finds a minimum spanning tree for a weighted undirected graph. This means it finds a subset of the edges that forms a tree that includes every vertex, where the total weight of all the edges in the tree is minimized. The ...

  3. Distributed minimum spanning tree - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distributed_minimum...

    For example, Kruskal's algorithm processes edges in turn, deciding whether to include the edge in the MST based on whether it would form a cycle with all previously chosen edges. Both Prim's algorithm and Kruskal's algorithm require processes to know the state of the whole graph, which is very difficult to discover in the message-passing model.

  4. Parallel algorithms for minimum spanning trees - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallel_algorithms_for...

    Similarly to Prim's algorithm there are components in Kruskal's approach that can not be parallelised in its classical variant. For example, determining whether or not two vertices are in the same subtree is difficult to parallelise, as two union operations might attempt to join the same subtrees at the same time.

  5. List of terms relating to algorithms and data structures

    The NIST Dictionary of Algorithms and Data Structures [1] is a reference work maintained by the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology. It defines a large number of terms relating to algorithms and data structures. For algorithms and data structures not necessarily mentioned here, see list of algorithms and list of data structures.

  6. Maze generation algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maze_generation_algorithm

    3D version of Prim's algorithm. Vertical layers are labeled 1 through 4 from bottom to top. Stairs up are indicated with "/"; stairs down with "\", and stairs up-and-down with "x". Source code is included with the image description. Other algorithms exist that require only enough memory to store one line of a 2D maze or one plane of a 3D maze.

  7. Edmonds' algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edmonds'_algorithm

    The running time of this algorithm is ().A faster implementation of the algorithm due to Robert Tarjan runs in time (⁡) for sparse graphs and () for dense graphs. This is as fast as Prim's algorithm for an undirected minimum spanning tree.

  8. Dijkstra's algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dijkstra's_algorithm

    The process that underlies Dijkstra's algorithm is similar to the greedy process used in Prim's algorithm. Prim's purpose is to find a minimum spanning tree that connects all nodes in the graph; Dijkstra is concerned with only two nodes. Prim's does not evaluate the total weight of the path from the starting node, only the individual edges.

  9. Shortest path problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shortest_path_problem

    Shortest path (A, C, E, D, F) between vertices A and F in the weighted directed graph. In graph theory, the shortest path problem is the problem of finding a path between two vertices (or nodes) in a graph such that the sum of the weights of its constituent edges is minimized.
