CS223 Advanced Data Structures and Algorithms Prim’s Algorithm Arbitrarily pick a vertex to start with. Relaxation: dw=min(dw, cwv), where v is the newly marked vertex, w is one of its unmarked neighbors, cwv is the weight of edge (w,v) and dw indicates the current distance between w and one of the marked vertices.
