min_weight_tree - minimum weight spanning tree
min_weight_tree tries to find a minimum weight spanning tree for the graph g . The optional argument i is the number of the root node of the tree; its default value is node number 1. This node is meaningless for an undirected graph.
The weights are given by the element edge_weight of the graph list. If its value is not given (empty vector [] ), it is assumed to be equal to 0 on each edge. Weigths can be positive, equal to 0 or negative. To compute a spanning tree without dealing with weights, give to weights a value of 0 on each edge or the empty vector [] .
min_weight_tree returns the tree t as a row vector of the arc numbers (directed graph) or edge numbers (undirected graph) if it exists or the empty vector [] otherwise. If the tree exists, the dimension of t is the number of nodes less 1. If t(i) is the root of the tree: - for j < i, t(j) is the number of the arc in the tree after node t(j) - for j > i, t(j) is the number of the arc in the tree before node t(j)
