kruskal {BNSL}

R Documentation

Given a weight matrix, generate its maximum weight forest

Description

The function lists the edges of an forest generated by Kruskal's algorithm given its weight matrix in which each weight should be symmetric but may be negative. The forest is a spanning tree if the elements of the matrix take positive values.

Usage

 kruskal(W)

Arguments

W

a matrix.

Value

A matrix object of size n x 2 for matrix size n x n in which each row expresses an edge when the vertexes are expressed by 1 through n.
