# Prim's Algorithm
|
||||
|
||||
In computer science, **Prim's algorithm** is a greedy algorithm that
|
||||
finds a minimum spanning tree for a weighted undirected graph.
|
||||
|
||||
The algorithm operates by building this tree one vertex at a
|
||||
time, from an arbitrary starting vertex, at each step adding
|
||||
the cheapest possible connection from the tree to another vertex.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
Prim's algorithm starting at vertex `A`. In the third step, edges
|
||||
`BD` and `AB` both have weight `2`, so `BD` is chosen arbitrarily.
|
||||
After that step, `AB` is no longer a candidate for addition
|
||||
to the tree because it links two nodes that are already
|
||||
in the tree.
|
||||
|
||||
## Minimum Spanning Tree
|
||||
|
||||
A **minimum spanning tree** (MST) or minimum weight spanning tree
|
||||
is a subset of the edges of a connected, edge-weighted
|
||||
(un)directed graph that connects all the vertices together,
|
||||
without any cycles and with the minimum possible total edge
|
||||
weight. That is, it is a spanning tree whose sum of edge weights
|
||||
is as small as possible. More generally, any edge-weighted
|
||||
undirected graph (not necessarily connected) has a minimum
|
||||
spanning forest, which is a union of the minimum spanning
|
||||
trees for its connected components.

||||

||||

A planar graph and its minimum spanning tree. Each edge is
|
||||
labeled with its weight, which here is roughly proportional
|
||||
to its length.

This figure shows there may be more than one minimum spanning
|
||||
tree in a graph. In the figure, the two trees below the graph
|
||||
are two possibilities of minimum spanning tree of the given graph.
