mstree.kruskal

Kruskal's minimum spanning tree in boost


Description

compute the minimum spanning tree (MST) for a graph and return a representation in matrices

Usage

Arguments

x

instance of class graph

Details

calls to kruskal minimum spanning tree algorithm of Boost graph library

Value

a list

edgeList

a matrix m of dimension 2 by number of edges in the MST, with m[i,j] the jth node in edge i

weights

a vector of edge weights corresponding to the columns of edgeList

nodes

the vector of nodes of the input graph x
