Minimum degree spanning tree

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In graph theory, for a connected graph G, a spanning tree T is a subgraph of G with the least number of edges that still spans G. A number of properties can be proved about T. T is acyclic, has ( | V | − 1) edges where V is the number of vertices in G etc.

A minimum degree spanning tree T' is a spanning tree which has the least degree. The vertex of maximum degree in T' is the least among all possible spanning trees of G.
