Abstract

We present a randomized linear-Time algorithm for finding a minimum spanning tree in a connected graph with edge weights. The algorithm is a modification of one proposed by Karger and uses random sampling in combination with a recently discovered linear-Time algorithm for verifying a minimum spanning tree. Our computational model is a unit-cost random-Access machine with the restriction that the only operations allowed on edge weights are binary comparisons.
