Prim's algorithm

Prim's algorithm for finding the minimum spanning tree in a graph.

He also developed the graph theory algorithm known as Prim's algorithm.

This is as fast as Prim's algorithm for an undirected minimum spanning tree.

This algorithm is a randomized version of Prim's algorithm.

Fast parallel algorithms can be obtained by combining Prim's algorithm with Borůvka's.

Other algorithms for this problem include Prim's algorithm and Kruskal's algorithm.

There are now two algorithms commonly used, Prim's algorithm and Kruskal's algorithm.

Prim's algorithm.

Although the classical Prim's algorithm keeps a list of edges, for maze generation we could instead maintain a list of adjacent cells.

However, these other algorithms can also find minimum spanning forests of disconnected graphs, while Prim's algorithm requires the graph to be connected.

There, Prim developed Prim's algorithm.

The process that underlies Dijkstra's algorithm is similar to the greedy process used in Prim's algorithm.

Vojtěch Jarník first discovers 'Prim's algorithm'.

Robert C. Prim independently rediscovers Prim's algorithm.

Edsger Wybe Dijkstra rediscovered it in 1959, and called it Prim's algorithm.

In computer science, Prim's algorithm is a greedy algorithm that finds a minimum spanning tree for a connected weighted undirected graph.

The output Y of Prim's algorithm is a tree, because the edge and vertex added to tree Y are connected.

Two commonly used algorithms for the classical minimum spanning tree problem are Prim's algorithm and Kruskal's algorithm.

Both Prim's algorithm and Kruskal's algorithm require processing one node or vertex at a time, making it difficult to make them run in parallel.

The minimum spanning tree on which traffic flows in the latter case is heuristically defined by Dijkstra's algorithm and Prim's algorithm.

Edsger W. Dijkstra rediscovers 'Prim's algorithm'.

Both Prim's algorithm and Kruskal's algorithm require processes to know the state of the whole graph, which is very difficult to discover in the message-passing model.

At every iteration of Prim's algorithm, an edge must be found that connects a vertex in a subgraph to a vertex outside the subgraph.

However, Nobari et al. in proposed a novel parallel algorithm, PMA, that is parallelizing Prim's algorithm.
