Apply Kruskal's algorithm to find a minimum spanning tree and its weight

Question 3

(a) Apply Kruskal's algorithm to find a minimum spanning tree and its weight for the graph on 6 vertices

v1, v2, v3, v4, v5, v6

with the following edges and weights respectively as in Table 1 below.


Set out your answers in the Table 2 below (see workshop video, Handout Example 5, or Week 8 practical questions 1 and 2). You may not need all given rows.


(b) Draw your spanning tree on the following set of vertices.


Hint
MathematicsKruskal's algorithm is the concept which is introduced in the graph theory of the discrete mathematics. Also, it is used to discover the shortest path between the two points in the connected weighted graph. Also, the algorithm converts the given graph into the forest, where it is considered that  each node as a separate tree....
