pgr_primBFS - pgRouting Manual (3.4)

Description

Visits and extracts the nodes information in Breath First Search ordering of the Minimum Spanning Tree created with Prims’s algorithm.

The main Characteristics are:

• It’s implementation is only on undirected graph.

• Process is done only on edges with positive costs.

• 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.

• Prim’s running time: \(O(E * log V)\)

• Returned tree nodes from a root vertex are on Breath First Search order

• Breath First Search Running time: \(O(E + V)\)
