Prim's algorithm • Greedy algorithm • Builds a spanning tree from initially one vertex. • Repeatedly chooses the minimum-weight edge from a vertex in the tree, to a vertex outside the tree – adds that vertex to the tree Prims. Algorithm(v) { mark v as visited, add v to spanning tree while (graph has unvisited vertices) { Find least cost edge (w, u) from a visited vertex w to unvisited vertex u Mark u as visited Add vertex u and edge (w, u) to the minimum spanning tree } } April 03, 2020 Cinda Heeren / Andy Roth / Geoffrey Tien 12
