Description
A minimum spanning tree (MST) or minimum weight spanning tree is a subset of the edges of a connected; edge-weighted undirected graph that connects all the vertices together; without any cycles and with the minimum possible total edge weight. Here, we assume that the graph is dense (i.e. $E = \Omega(V)$).
