Applications of MST
- In Networking design mostly The Minimum Spanning Tree is used
- For identifying natural clustering in Graph .
- Used in approximation algorithms for problems like Travelling Salesman Problem.
- Constructing efficient road or pipelines network with minimal construction costs.
C Program to Implement Minimum Spanning Tree
A Minimum Spanning Tree is a subset of edges from a undirected graph that connects all vertices with minimum total weight and contains no cycle. The most common algorithms to generate Minimum Spanning Tree are Kruskal’s algorithm and Prim’s algorithm. In this article we explain about implement Minimum Spanning Tree with Kruskal’s algorithm. You can also use Prim’s algorithm based on your requirement.
