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)

Yes, it's quite readable. Andris 01:12, Jun 5, 2004 (UTC)

"...as a method of efficiently electrifying Bohemia."

maybe it's just me, but what meaning of the word Bohemia is assumed here? can somebody clear up this sentance?

The region, of course. What other Bohemia is there? Click the link to find out more. "Electrifying" is a bit confusing; I will take a crack at that. Deco 10:39, 16 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Florek and his co-authors were anthropologists

This is very controversial ;) I don't know about Florek but coauthors are mathematicians. In 1951 they were professors at universiteties: Steinhaus, Zubrzycki and Perkal in Wrocław/Poland and Łukasiewicz in Dublin
