Question

Assume you have been given a graph with 1 minimum spanning tree and no repeated edge weights. Using the min-cut theorem, prove Boruvka's algorithm is correct. The pseudocode is attached. 

Consider the n vertices in the graph as n connected components,
while A contains fewer than n-ledges
६
for each connected component C
ह
Find the least weight edge (UV) with one vertex in C and
one vertex not in C,
Indicate that edge (vv) is "chosen", but do not add it yet to A;
сл
Add all "chosen "edges to A;
Compute the new connected component;
3
return A \\ Comment: the return should be a minimum spanning free
