Minimum Spanning Tree

gif The spanning tree of a graph G is a subgraph of G that has same set of vertices as G but is a tree. The Minimum spanning tree of a weighted graph G is a spanning tree of G whose edges sum to the minimum weight for all spanning trees of G. Greedy algorithms give optimal solution for minimum spanning trees.
