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're given a directed graph with a root, and we wish to find a spanning arborescence of minimum weight that is rooted at the root.
