Abstract

The spanning tree T of an undirected graph G is a sub graph that is a tree, which Includes all of the vertices of G, with minimum possible number of edges .A minimum spanning tree is a subset of the edges of a connected edge weight undirected graph that connects all the vertices together without any cycles and with the minimum possible total edge weight. This paper highlights the concepts of minimum spanning tree using Prim
