== Barbour Veste and don let yourself fail the weekend ==
In [[computer science]], '''Prim's algorithm''' is a [[greedy algorithm]] that finds a [[minimum spanning tree]] for a [[Connected graph|connected]] [[Weighted graph|weighted]] [[undirected graph]]. This means it finds a subset of the [[edge (graph theory)|edge]]s that forms a [[Tree (graph theory)|tree]] that includes every [[Vertex (graph theory)|vertex]], where the total weight of all the [[graph theory|edges]] in the tree is minimized. The algorithm was developed in 1930 by [[Czech people|Czech]] mathematician [[Vojtěch Jarník]] and later independently by [[computer scientist]] [[Robert C. Prim]] in 1957 and rediscovered by [[Edsger Dijkstra]] in 1959. Therefore it is also sometimes called the '''DJP algorithm''', the '''Jarník algorithm''', or the '''Prim–Jarník algorithm'''.


Other algorithms for this problem include [[Kruskal's algorithm]] and [[Borůvka's algorithm]]. These algorithms find the minimum spanning forest in a possibly disconnected graph. By running Prim's algorithm for each [[Connected component (graph theory)| connected component]] of the graph, it can also be used to find the minimum spanning forest.

If a graph is empty then we are done immediately. Thus, we assume otherwise.
 
The algorithm starts with a tree consisting of a single vertex, and continuously increases its size one edge at a time, until it spans all vertices.

A simple implementation using an [[adjacency matrix]] graph representation and searching an array of weights to find the minimum weight edge to add requires [[Big-O notation|O]](<nowiki>|</nowiki>V<nowiki>|</nowiki><sup>2</sup>) running time. Using a simple [[binary heap]] data structure and an [[adjacency list]] representation, Prim's algorithm can be shown to run in time [[Big-O notation|O]](<nowiki>|</nowiki>E<nowiki>|</nowiki> log <nowiki>|</nowiki>V<nowiki>|</nowiki>) where <nowiki>|</nowiki>E<nowiki>|</nowiki> is the number of edges and <nowiki>|</nowiki>V<nowiki>|</nowiki> is the number of vertices. Using a more sophisticated [[Fibonacci heap]], this can be brought down to [[Big-O notation|O]](<nowiki>|</nowiki>E<nowiki>|</nowiki> + <nowiki>|</nowiki>V<nowiki>|</nowiki> log <nowiki>|</nowiki>V<nowiki>|</nowiki>), which is [[Asymptotic computational complexity|asymptotically faster]] when the graph is [[Dense graph|dense]] enough that <nowiki>|</nowiki>E<nowiki>|</nowiki> is [[Big-O notation#Family_of_Bachmann.E2.80.93Landau_notations|ω]](<nowiki>|</nowiki>V<nowiki>|</nowiki>).

== Proof of correctness ==
Let ''P'' be a connected, weighted [[graph theory|graph]].  At every iteration of Prim's algorithm, an edge must be found that connects a vertex in a subgraph to a vertex outside the subgraph. Since  ''P'' is connected, there will always be a path to every vertex.  The output ''Y'' of Prim's algorithm is a [[Tree (graph theory)|tree]], because the edge and vertex added to tree ''Y'' are connected. Let ''Y<sub>1</sub>'' be a minimum spanning tree of graph P. If ''Y<sub>1</sub>''=''Y'' then ''Y'' is a minimum spanning tree. Otherwise, let ''e'' be the first edge added during the construction of tree ''Y'' that is not in tree ''Y<sub>1</sub>'', and ''V'' be the set of vertices connected by the edges added before edge ''e''.  Then one endpoint of edge ''e'' is in set ''V'' and the other is not. Since tree ''Y<sub>1</sub>'' is a spanning tree of graph ''P'', there is a path in tree ''Y<sub>1</sub>'' joining the two endpoints. As one travels along the path, one must encounter an edge ''f'' joining a vertex in set ''V'' to one that is not in set ''V''. Now, at the iteration when edge ''e'' was added to tree ''Y'', edge ''f'' could also have been added and it would be added instead of edge ''e'' if its weight was less than ''e'', and since edge ''f'' was not added, we conclude that
 
:<math>w(f) \ge w(e).</math>
 
Let tree ''Y<sub>2</sub>'' be the graph obtained by removing edge ''f'' from and adding edge ''e'' to tree ''Y<sub>1</sub>''. It is easy to show that tree ''Y<sub>2</sub>'' is connected, has the same number of edges as tree ''Y<sub>1</sub>'', and the total weights of its edges is not larger than that of tree ''Y<sub>1</sub>'', therefore it is also a minimum spanning tree of graph ''P'' and it contains edge ''e'' and all the edges added before it during the construction of set ''V''.  Repeat the steps above and we will eventually obtain a minimum spanning tree of graph ''P'' that is identical to tree ''Y''. This shows ''Y'' is a minimum spanning tree.
