Cheriton-Tarjan algorithm for MST

I am searching the Cheriton-Tarjan algorithm for weighted minimum spanning trees, with O(m*loglogn). But I was not able to find it anywhere. Can someone explain me the algorithm or tell me a link as where to find it?

Solution

  • It's "Tarjan" not "Trajan". That may be a reason why you've had trouble finding it.

    Here's pseudocode for the algorithm, taken from here (Graphcs, Algorithms, and Optimization by William Kocay and Donald Kreher):
