pgr_kruskalDD¶
pgr_kruskalDD — Catchament nodes using Kruskal’s algorithm.
Availability
- Version 3.0.0
- New Official function
Support
- Supported versions: current(3.0)
Description¶
Using Kruskal’s algorithm, extracts the nodes that have aggregate costs less than
or equal to the value Distance from a root vertex (or vertices) within
the calculated minimum spanning tree.
The main Characteristics are:
- It’s implementation is only on undirected graph.
- Process is done only on edges with positive costs.
- The total weight of all the edges in the tree or forest is minimized.
- When the graph is connected
- The resulting edges make up a tree
- When the graph is not connected,
- Finds a minimum spanning tree for each connected component.
- The resulting edges make up a forest.
- Kruskal’s running time: \(O(E * log E)\)
- Returned tree nodes from a root vertex are on Depth First Search order.
- Depth First Search running time: \(O(E + V)\)
