Overview
The
boruvka_mstfunction constructs a minimum spanning tree (MST) for an undirected weighted graph.It repeatedly adds the cheapest edge for each component, merging connected components until all vertices are included or no more edges can be added.
Key improvements over a naive implementation:
Graphs are represented as:
V: number of verticesedges: data frame with columnsu,v,wfor edges and weightsFeatures
