  1. Minimum Spanning tree Prim’s algorithm Select any vertex Select the shortest edge connected to that vertex Select the shortest edge which connects a previously chosen vertex to a new vertex Repeat step 3 until all vertices have been connected

  2. Example A cable company want to connect five villages to their network which currently extends to the market town of Avenford. What is the minimum length of cable needed? 5 Brinleigh Cornwell 3 4 6 8 8 Avenford Donster Fingley 7 5 4 2 Edan

  3. Prim’s algorithm in tabular form First put the information from the network into a distance matrix

  4. Brinleigh 3 Avenford • Start at vertex A. Label column A “1” . • Delete row A • Select the smallest entry in column A (AB, length 3) 1

  5. Brinleigh 3 Avenford 4 Edan 1 2 • Label column B “2” • Delete row B • Select the smallest uncovered entry in either column A or column B (AE, length 4)

  6. Brinleigh 3 Avenford Donster 4 2 Edan 1 2 3 • Label column E “3” • Delete row E • Select the smallest uncovered entry in either column A, B or E (ED, length 2)

  7. Brinleigh Cornwell 3 4 Avenford Donster 4 2 Edan 1 2 4 3 • Label column D “4” • Delete row D • Select the smallest uncovered entry in either column A, B, D or E (DC, length 4)

  8. Brinleigh Cornwell 3 4 Fingley Avenford Donster 5 4 2 Edan 1 2 5 4 3 • Label column C “5” • Delete row C • Select the smallest uncovered entry in either column A, B, D, E or C (EF, length 5)

  9. Brinleigh Cornwell 3 4 Fingley Avenford Donster 5 4 2 Edan 1 2 5 4 3 6 • FINALLY • Label column F “6” • Delete row F

  10. Brinleigh Cornwell 3 4 Fingley Avenford Donster 5 4 2 Edan 1 2 5 4 3 6 • FINALLY • Label column F “6” • Delete row F The spanning tree is shown in the diagram Length 3 + 4 + 4 + 2 + 5 = 18Km
