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.

FSMEC: a feature selection method based on the minimum spanning tree and evolutionary computation

TL;DR: A new type of supervised and multivariate feature selection approach that works by constructing proximity graphs in such a way that the number of edges connecting samples from different classes is minimised is presented.

Determining minimum spanning tree in an undirected weighted graph

Shikha Rai, +1 more
TL;DR: This new algorithm is named as RAY, as it gives a new ray of hope in the field of graphs that can be used as a better option for finding the minimum spanning tree of any undirected weighted graph with less duration of time as well as with an easy approach.

Invasion percolation through minimum-weight spanning trees

TL;DR: The property of minimum-weight spanning trees is formulated that justifies the two-step approach to invasion bond percolation and is extended to simulations of drainage (imbibition) that include trapping of the wetting (nonwetting) phase.

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.
