TLDR
There are several apparently independent sources and algorithmic solutions of the minimum spanning tree problem and their motivations, and they have appeared in Czechoslovakia, France, and Poland, going back to the beginning of this century.
Abstract
It is standard practice among authors discussing the minimum spanning tree problem to refer to the work of Kruskal(1956) and Prim (1957) as the sources of the problem and its first efficient solutions, despite the citation by both of Boruvka (1926) as a predecessor. In fact, there are several apparently independent sources and algorithmic solutions of the problem. They have appeared in Czechoslovakia, France, and Poland, going back to the beginning of this century. We shall explore and compare these works and their motivations, and relate them to the most recent advances on the minimum spanning tree problem.

Mechanism for Connecting Input Edges Using Steiner Tree

TL;DR: In experiments, a mechanism connecting all input edges with minimum length through Steiner tree made connection length decrease, while building time for a connecting solution increase average 192.0% comparing with the method using minimum spanning tree, which shows the mechanism might be well applied to the applications where connecting cost is more important than building time of connecting solution.

The optimization of pipeline network based on parent genetic algorithms

TL;DR: The single parent genetic algorithm is used to solve minimum spanning tree to get a group solution, from which many factors can be synthetically considered, and the practical application displays the efficiency and effectiveness of this approach.

Ga-based alternative approaches for the degree-constrained spanning tree problem

TL;DR: The degree-constrained minimum spanning tree (dc-MST) problem is of high practical importance and there are few effective algorithms to solve this problem because of its NP-hard complexity.

Hierarchical clustering schemes

TL;DR: A useful correspondence is developed between any hierarchical system of such clusters, and a particular type of distance measure, that gives rise to two methods of clustering that are computationally rapid and invariant under monotonic transformations of the data.

Shortest connection networks and some generalizations

TL;DR: In this paper, the basic problem of interconnecting a given set of terminals with a shortest possible network of direct links is considered, and a set of simple and practical procedures are given for solving this problem both graphically and computationally.

Principles of numerical taxonomy

TL;DR: The authors continued the story of psychology with added research and enhanced content from the most dynamic areas of the field, such as cognition, gender and diversity studies, neuroscience and more, while at the same time using the most effective teaching approaches and learning tools.
