Implementation of Minimum Spanning Tree and Critical Path Algorithms

Resource Overview

This MATLAB program implements algorithms for finding minimum spanning trees and critical paths with efficient graph processing capabilities.

Detailed Documentation

This MATLAB program is designed to help users find minimum spanning trees and critical paths. The minimum spanning tree algorithm (commonly implemented using Prim's or Kruskal's method) finds the shortest path network in a graph, enabling cost calculation through optimal routes. Critical path methodology, essential in project management, determines project completion timelines and identifies the longest task sequences. The implementation uses graph traversal techniques and dependency analysis to highlight critical tasks for better time and resource management. Users can efficiently compute both minimum spanning trees and critical paths through this program's matrix-based graph representation and path optimization functions, facilitating improved project planning and execution.
