| 1 | +#Kruskal's Algorithm seeks a minimum spanning tree using a greedy approach. |
| 2 | +#Greedy Approach: Selects edges in ascending order of weight, adding them to the MST if they avoid cycles. |
| 3 | +#Edge Sorting: Begins by sorting edges by weight in non-decreasing order. |
| 4 | +#Disjoint Set Data Structure: Utilizes Union-Find to efficiently manage connected components and prevent cycles. |
| 5 | +#Iterative Process: Adds edges to the MST iteratively, starting with the smallest weight edges, until V-1 edges are included (V is the number of vertices). |
| 6 | +#Safe Edge Selection: Ensures edges don't create cycles before adding them to the MST. |
| 7 | +#Efficiency: Kruskal's Algorithm has O(E log E) time complexity, making it suitable for sparse graphs. |
| 8 | +#Applications: Widely used in network design for road networks, electrical circuits, data center connections, and also in clustering and image segmentation. |
