So, Total space complexity is of order O(V+E).We need an array to maintain Min-Heap.This means it finds a subset of the edges that forms a tree that includes every vertex, where the total weight of all the edges in the tree is minimized. We need an array to know if a node is in MST or not. In computer science, Prim's algorithm (also known as Jarnk's algorithm) is a greedy algorithm that finds a minimum spanning tree for a weighted undirected graph.Starting in the bottom-left corner, the algorithm keeps a heap of the. Worst case time complexity would be when its a graph with V 2 edges. Prims algorithm generates a minimum spanning tree from a graph with weighted edges.Best case time complexity of Prim's is when the given graph is a tree itself and each node has minimum number of adjacent nodes.So, totally complexity id O((V+E)Log(V)).And we add atmost E edges altogether where each adding takes complexity of O(log(V)). In total we delete V nodes from Min-Heap since we have V nodes in graph and in every iteration 1 edge and in total V-1 edges in MST are deleted and each deletion takes complexity of O(log(V)).The algorithm was developed in 1930 by Czech. To complete one iteration, we delete min node from Min-Heap and add some no.of edge weights to Min-Heap. In computer science, Prim’s algorithm is a greedy algorithm that finds a minimum spanning tree for a weighted undirected graph.
Lets assume that we are given V vertices and E edges in a graph for which we need to find an MST. Whereas the Kruskal algorithm sequences through the edges to find the MST, the Prim algorithm sequences through the nodes 1, 2,, n-1.
Minimum Spanning Trees Running Time of Prim's Algorithm We show how to construct a minimum spanning tree (MST) for a connected graph using the Prim algorithm.
