Approach: Greedy

See Minimum_Spanning_Tree

Implementation

for each u in V:
    key[u] = infinity   // cost array
    pi[u] = infinity    // from array
Q = new PriorityQueue(V)
key[root] = 0
while Q is not empty:
    u = extractMin(Q)
    # Reduce nodes
    for v in adj[u]:
        if v in Q and w[u,v] < key[v]:
            key[v] = w[u,v]

Analysis

Priority queue is slower than array when the graph is dense, so sometimes it's better to use Dijsktra's algorithm.
