Note that Otakar Boruvka's name should really be spelled with a special character, but this is not one of the standard ones on the typewriter keyboard, nor is it in the HTML special character set. The u should have a small circle over the top - equivalent to ů - if that were valid HTML, which it is not!

If someone knows how to do this then feel free to correct the text.

Done. (Copied from minimum spanning tree, actually.) grendel|khan 01:03, 2004 Jun 5 (UTC)

The algorithm given here is not very well expressed. It is hard to find one which is a good description - David Eppstein's (from U. Irvine) is not bad (see http://www.ics.uci.edu/~eppstein/161/960206.html ), though the descriptions from http://www2.toki.or.id/book/AlgDesignManual/LEC/LECTURES/ALL.HTM may be better.

I think the pseudocode I've put down is pretty readable. Maybe I'll convert it to C or Perl or something. grendel|khan 01:03, 2004 Jun 5 (UTC)
