In the Cable-Trench Problem (CTP), the objective is to find a rooted spanning tree of a weighted graph that minimizes the length of the tree, scaled by a non-negative factor , plus the sum of all shortest-path lengths from the root, scaled by another non-negative factor. This is an intermediate optimization problem between the Single-Destination Shortest Path Problem and the Minimum Spanning Tree Problem. In this extended abstract, we consider the Generalized CTP (GCTP), in which some vertices need not be connected to the root, but may serve as cost-saving merging points; this variant also generalizes the Steiner Tree Problem. We present an 8.599-approximation algorithm for GCTP. Before this paper, no constant approximation for the standard CTP was known.

Kruskal’s Algorithm is an algorithm used to find the minimum spanning tree in graphical connectivity that provides the option to continue processing the least-weighted margins. In the Kruskal algorithm, ordering the weight of the ribs makes it easy to find the shortest path. This algorithm is independent in nature which will facilitate and improve path creation. Based on the results of the application system trials that have been carried out in testing and comparisons between the Kruskal algorithm and the Dijkstra algorithm, the following conclusions can be drawn: that a strength that is the existence of weight sorting will facilitate the search for the shortest path. And considering the characteristics of Kruskal’s independent algorithm, it will facilitate and improve the formation of the path. The weakness of the Kruskal algorithm is that if the number of nodes is very large, it will be slower than Dijkstra’s algorithm because it has to sort thousands of vertices first, then form a path.

Unstable nets, by definition, display vertex collisions in any barycentric representation, among which are approximate models for the associated crystal structures. This means that different vertex lattices happen to superimpose when every vertex of a periodic net is located at the centre of gravity of its first neighbours. Non-crystallographic nets are known to be unstable, but crystallographic nets can also be unstable and general conditions for instability are not known. Moreover, examples of unstable nets are still scarce. This article presents a systematic analysis of unstable 3-periodic nets of genus 4, satisfying the restrictions that, in a suitable basis, (i) their labelled quotient graph contains a spanning tree with zero voltage and (ii) voltage coordinates belong to the set {−1, 0, 1}. These nets have been defined by a unique circuit of null voltage in the quotient graph. They have been characterized through a shortest path between colliding vertices. The quotient graph and the nature of the net obtained after identification of colliding vertices, if known, are also provided. The complete list of the respective unstable nets, with a detailed description of the results, can be found in the supporting information.

Let V be any set of n points in k-dimensional Euclidean space. A subgraph of the complete Euclidean graph is a t-spanner if for all u and υ in V, the length of the shortest path from u to υ in the spanner is at most t times the Euclidean distance between u and υ. We show that for any δ>1, there exists a t-spanner (where t is a constant that depends only on δ and k) with the following properties: its maximum degree is 3, it has at most n·δ edges, its total edge weight is at most O(1) times the weight of the minimum spanning tree of V, and it can be constructed in O(n log n) time. The constants implicit in the O-notation depend on δ and k.

Optimization is an effort to obtain the best results by considering the constraints, constraints, and limitations that exist on a problem; the goal is to minimize or suppress the things that harm and maximize the things that are considered profitable. Generally, the Floyd-Warsall algorithm is widely used to solve shortest path problems, while the Prim algorithm is often used to solve the MST (Minimum Spanning Tree) problem in the Graph to minimize tree ranges or reduce the number of branches. Comparing the Prim algorithm with the Floyd-Warsall algorithm is expected to add proof if the Prim algorithm is not only used to solve Minimum Spanning Tree problem but can also solve the problem of Shortest Path Problem.
