2.  1.Prim’s algorithms  Let T={e} where e is minimum-weighted edge in G  for i=1 to n-2  begin e i = an edge of minimum weight incident to a vertex in T and not forming a simple circuit in T if added to T  T:=T ∪ {e i }  end

3. Theorem 5.17: Prim’s algorithm produces a minimum spanning tree of a connected weighted graph.

4.  2.Kruskal’s algorithm  T= .  For i=1 to n-1  begin  e i = an edge of minimum weight in E(G)-E(T) and not forming a simple circuit in T if added to T  T:=T ∪ {e i }  end

6.  Theorem 5.18: Kruskal’s algorithm produces a minimum spanning tree of a connected weighted graph.  Proof: Let G be a connected weighted graph, and T be the graph which is produced by Kruskal’s algorithm.  By theorem 5.14  T is a spanning tree of G.

7.  Now we prove T is a minimum spanning tree  Suppose T that is not a minimum spanning tree. Thus there is a spanning tree S of G such that w(S)<w(T).  w(e 1 ) ≤w(e 2 ) ≤  ≤w(e k ) ≤  ≤w(e n-1 )  Suppose e k that is the first edge  S, i.e. e 1,e 2, ,e k-1 are common edges of T and S.  There is a simple circuit C that is in E(S ∪ {e k }. Then there is an edge e' of C that e'  S and e'  T.  e 1,e 2, ,e k-1, e'  S, thus e 1,e 2, ,e k-1 and e'  any circuit.  By Kruskal’s algorithm, w(e k )≤w(e')

8.  We have a spanning tree S’ which is obtained from S ∪ e k by omitting the edge e'.  Because w(e k )≤w(e'), w(S')≤w(S), and the number of common edges of S’ and T are added 1.  W(T)≤W(S),  Suppose: W(S)<W(T)  contradiction  Rooted tree and binary tree  Prefix codes and optimal tree

9. 5.5.3 Rooted tree and binary tree  Definition 25: A directed graph is a directed tree if the graph is a tree in the underlying undirected graph.  Definition 26: A rooted tree is a directed tree if there are exactly a vertex that is 0 in-degree, and other vertices that are 1 in-degree. The vertex of 0 in-degree is called root. And the vertices of 0 out-degree are called leaves. The vertices that are not 0 out-degree are called internal vertices.  There is a unique path from the root to each vertex of the rooted tree by the definition 26

10.  Definition 27: Let u be an internal vertex. If there is a directed edge (u,w) from u to w, then w is called child of u, and u is called the parent of w. If the vertices w 1 and w 2 are child of u, then w 1 and w 2 are called brothers. If there a directed path from u to z, then z is called descendant of u. and u is called ancestors of w. The level of a vertex v is the length of the unique path from the root to this vertex. The level of the root is defined to be zero. The height of a rooted tree is the maximum of the levels of all vertices.  Note: The parent of w is unique.

11.  Root:1  Leaf: 6, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12  internal vertices: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7  the levels of 2, 3 are 1, the levels of 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 are 2,  the levels of 9, 10, 11, 12 are 3 。  The height of a rooted tree is 3

12.  Definition 28: If v be a vertex of a rooted tree, then the subtree with v as its root is the subgraph of the tree consisting of v and its descendants and all edges incident to these descendants.

13.  Definition 29: An ordered rooted tree is a rooted tree where the children of each internal vertex are ordered. Ordered rooted trees are drawn so that the children of each internal vertex and edges are shown in order from left to right, and these edges are marked on 1,2, ,i, 

14.  Definition 30: An ordered rooted tree is called an m-ary tree if every vertex has no more than m children. The tree is called a full m-ary tree if every vertex has exactly m children. An m-ary tree with m=2 is called a binary tree.  Left subtree, right subtree

15.  a-(b+(c/d)+(e/f))

16.  Theorem 5.19: A full binary tree with t leaves contains i=t-1 internal vertices.  Proof: Let the number vertices be n.  The sum of children of all internal vertices equals n-1,  internal vertices and leaves  the number vertices n=i+t,  i.e. 2i=i+t-1,  Thus i=t-1 。  A full m-ary tree with t leaves contains i=(t-1)/(m-1) internal vertices.
