The minimum spanning tree is the minimal connected acyclic subgraph of a graph, assuming the graph is undirected.
MinSpanningTree(
arcSources,
arcTargets,
arcDistances,
numNodes,
algorithm = "Kruskal"
)
A named list containing three entries: 1) "sources": a vector corresponding the source nodes of the edges in the tree, 2) "targets": a vector corresponding the target nodes of the edges in the tree, and 3) "value": the total minimum spanning tree value.
Vector corresponding to the source nodes of a graph's edges
Vector corresponding to the destination nodes of a graph's edges
Vector corresponding to the distances of nodes of a graph's edges
The number of nodes in the graph
Choices of algorithm include "Kruskal". "Kruskal" is the default.
