We study the minimum spanning arborescence problem on the complete digraph $\vec{K}_n$ where an edge $e$ has a weight $W_e$ and a cost $C_e$, each of which is an independent uniform random variable $U^\alpha$ where $\alpha\leq 1$ and $U$ is…

Assign i.i.d. standard exponential edge weights to the edges of the complete graph K_n, and let M_n be the resulting minimum spanning tree. We show that M_n converges in the local weak sense (also called Aldous-Steele or Benjamini-Schramm…

A spanning tree of a network or graph is a subgraph that connects all nodes with the least number or weight of edges. The spanning tree is one of the most straightforward techniques for network simplification and sampling, and for…

This paper considers the \textit{minimum spanning tree (MST)} problem in the Congested Clique model and presents an algorithm that runs in $O(\log \log \log n)$ rounds, with high probability. Prior to this, the fastest MST algorithm in this…

A spanning tree $T$ in a graph $G$ is a sub-graph of $G$ with the same vertex set as $G$ which is a tree. In 1981, McKay proved an asymptotic result regarding the number of spanning trees in random $k$-regular graphs. In this paper we prove…

We present time-space trade-offs for computing the Euclidean minimum spanning tree of a set $S$ of $n$ point-sites in the plane. More precisely, we assume that $S$ resides in a random-access memory that can only be read. The edges of the…

The weight of the minimum spanning tree in a complete weighted graph with random edge weights is a well-known problem. For various classes of distributions, it is proved that the weight of the minimum spanning tree tends to a constant,…

We study the expected value of the length $L_n$ of the minimum spanning tree of the complete graph $K_n$ when each edge $e$ is given an independent uniform $[0,1]$ edge weight. We sharpen the result of Frieze \cite{F1} that…

The problem considered is the following. Given a graph with edge weights satisfying the triangle inequality, and a degree bound for each vertex, compute a low-weight spanning tree such that the degree of each vertex is at most its specified…
