Suppose we want to find the minimum spanning tree of the following graph.

(a) Run Prim’s algorithm; whenever there is a choice of nodes, always use alphabetic ordering (e.g., start from node A). Draw a table showing the intermediate values of the cost array.


(b) Run Kruskal’s algorithm on the same graph. Show how the disjoint-sets data structure looks at every intermediate stage (including the structure of the directed trees), assuming path compression is used.
