In mathematics, the K-minimum spanning tree is a graph G that spans some K of N vertices in the input set S with the minimum total length. K is less than or equal to N. The K-MST does not have to be a subgraph of the minimum spanning tree (MST). This problem is also known as Edge-Weighted K-Cardinality Tree (KCT).

This problem is NP-hard.
