What is MST?

MST stands for Minimum Spanning Tree. It is a subgraph of a graph that connects all the vertices together, without any cycles and with the minimum possible total edge weight. It is commonly used in network design (e.g., telecommunications, transportation, computer networks), clustering, and image segmentation to find the most efficient connections or groupings.
