On Average Edge Length of Minimum Spanning Trees
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents a theorem that asserts that average edge length of the minimum spanning tree of a complete graph on n+ 1 vertices is less than or equal to the average edge length of all the n+ 1 minimum spanning trees of the induced graph on n vertices. The result is also in compliance with results given by Frieze and Steele. 1999 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

A Note on Random Minimum Length Spanning Trees
Consider a connected r-regular n-vertex graph G with random independent edge lengths, each uniformly distributed on [0, 1]. Let mst(G) be the expected length of a minimum spanning tree. We show in this paper that if G is sufficiently highly edge connected then the expected length of a minimum spanning tree is ∼ nr ζ(3). If we omit the edge connectivity condition, then it is at most ∼ nr (ζ(3) +...
متن کاملOptimal Independent Spanning Trees on Hypercubes
Two spanning trees rooted at some vertex r in a graph G are said to be independent if for each vertex v of G, v ≠ r, the paths from r to v in two trees are vertex-disjoint. A set of spanning trees of G is said to be independent if they are pairwise independent. A set of independent spanning trees is optimal if the average path length of the trees is the minimum. Any k-dimensional hypercube has ...
متن کاملMinimum Edge Ranking Spanning Tree Problem on Interval Graphs
The minimum edge ranking spanning tree problem on graph G is to find a spanning tree T of G such that the minimum edge ranking of T is minimum among all possible spanning trees of G. In this paper, we propose a linear-time algorithm for this problem on interval graphs.
متن کاملExpected Lengths of Minimum Spanning Trees for Non-identical Edge Distributions
An exact general formula for the expected length of the minimal spanning tree (MST) of a connected (possibly with loops and multiple edges) graph whose edges are assigned lengths according to independent (not necessarily identical) distributed random variables is developed in terms of the multivariate Tutte polynomial (alias Potts model). Our work was inspired by Steele’s formula based on two-v...
متن کاملRandom Minimum Length Spanning Trees in Regular Graphs
Consider a connected r-regular n-vertex graph G with random independent edge lengths, each uniformly distributed on (0,1). Let mst(G) be the expected length of a minimum spanning tree. We show that mst(G) can be estimated quite accurately under two distinct circumstances. Firstly, if r is large and G has a modest edge expansion property then mst(G) ∼ r ζ(3), where ζ(3) = ∑∞ j=1 j −3 ∼ 1.202. Se...
