Abstract
We study the minimum spanning tree problem on the complete graph where an edge has a weight and a cost , each of which is an independent copy of the random variable where and is the uniform random variable. There is also a constraint that the spanning tree must satisfy . We establish, for a range of values for , the asymptotic value of the optimum weight via the consideration of a dual problem.
