Description

Using Prim’s algorithm, extracts the nodes that have aggregate costs less than or equal to a distance from a root vertex (or vertices) within the calculated minimum spanning tree.

The main Characteristics are:

  • It’s implementation is only on undirected graph.
  • Process is done only on edges with positive costs.
  • When the graph is connected
    • The resulting edges make up a tree
  • When the graph is not connected,
    • Finds a minimum spanning tree for each connected component.
    • The resulting edges make up a forest.
  • Prim’s running time: \(O(E * log V)\)
  • Extracts all the nodes that have costs less than or equal to the value distance.
  • The edges extracted will conform to the corresponding spanning tree. Edge
  • Edge \((u, v)\) will not be included when:
    • The distance from the root to \(u\) > limit distance.
    • The distance from the root to \(v\) > limit distance.
    • No new nodes are created on the graph, so when is within the limit and is not within the limit, the edge is not included.
  • Returned tree nodes from a root vertex are on Depth First Search order.
  • Depth First Search running time: \(O(E + V)\)
