The proof consists of two parts. First, it is proved that the algorithm produces a spanning tree. Second, it is proved that the constructed spanning tree is of minimal weight.

Famous quotes containing the words proof of, proof and/or correctness:

    “When children feel good about themselves, it’s like a snowball rolling downhill. They are continually able to recognize and integrate new proof of their value as they grow and mature.”
    —Stephanie Martson (20th century)

    “War is a beastly business, it is true, but one proof we are human is our ability to learn, even from it, how better to exist.”
    —M.F.K. Fisher (1908–1992)

    “Rather would I have the love songs of romantic ages, rather Don Juan and Madame Venus, rather an elopement by ladder and rope on a moonlight night, followed by the father’s curse, mother’s moans, and the moral comments of neighbors, than correctness and propriety measured by yardsticks.”
    —Emma Goldman (1869–1940)
