A Stronger Lower Bound on Parametric Minimum Spanning Trees

Discrete Mathematics 2021-05-13 v1

Abstract

We prove that, for an undirected graph with nn vertices and mm edges, each labeled with a linear function of a parameter λ\lambda, the number of different minimum spanning trees obtained as the parameter varies can be Ω(mlogn)\Omega(m\log n).
