Coalescence and Minimal Spanning Trees of Irregular Graphs

Yevgeniy Kovchegov, Peter T. Otto, Anatoly Yambartsev

Published 2017-02-24Version 1

In this paper we devise a method of finding the limiting mean length of a minimal spanning tree for a random graph via the Smoluchowski coagulation equations for the corresponding coalescent process. In particular, we use this approach for finding the limiting mean length of a minimal spanning tree for the Erdos-Renyi random graph on an asymmetric bipartite graph, producing a completely new formula yet consistent with the previously known formula for the symmetric bipartite graph $K_{n,n}$.
