Abstract:
Graphs have been used in a wide variety of
application. Some of these applications are analysis of electrical
circuits, finding shortest routes, project planning, and
identification of chemical compounds, statistical mechanics,
genetics, and social sciences and so on. Indeed, it might be well
said that of all mathematical structures, graphs are the most
widely used. This paper is intended to study how a graph theory
applied to find shortest path by using a minimum spanning tree.
In this study, it is implemented popular locations of the
Mandalay City as the vertices of an undirected graph. In this
system, the associated distances between each location are
presented as weights of the edges of the graph. There are three
different algorithms to obtain a minimum –cost spanning of a
connected, undirected graph. Our shortest path finding system is
focused on Kruskal Algorithm.
