Exploring Spanning Trees and Dijkstra’s Algorithm in Modern Mathematics

This article delves into the concepts of spanning trees and Dijkstra’s algorithm, emphasizing their significance in graph theory and network optimization. A spanning tree connects all vertices of a network without circuits, maintaining one less edge than the number of vertices. Understanding minimum spanning trees enables efficient network designs by minimizing total edge weights. Dijkstra’s algorithm is a crucial tool for finding the shortest paths in weighted graphs, simplifying complex traversal problems. Explore the mathematical foundations behind these algorithms and their applications.

  1. Spanning Trees and Dijkstra’s Algorithm Excursions in Modern Mathematics(Tannenbaum) and Thinking Mathematically (Blitzer)

  2. Spanning Trees A subgraph that connects all the vertices of the network and has no circuits. By removing redundant edges makes it possible to increase the efficiency of the network modeled by the graph. A spanning tree must have one less edge than it’s vertices. Number of vertices – 1.

  3. Find a spanning tree

  4. Minimum Spanning Tree The minimum cost spanning tree for a weighted graph is a spanning tree with the smallest possible total weight.
