在Golang中实现Prim算法

Prim算法是一种解决最小生成树问题的算法，它的思想是从一个点开始，每次加入与当前集合相连的权值最小的边，直到所有的点都在树中。本文将介绍如何在Golang中实现Prim算法。

Prim算法的实现过程

Prim算法的实现过程可以分为以下几个步骤：

1. 选择一个起始点。
2. 将起始点加入已选点集合，并记录与它相邻的边。
3. 在未选点中选择与已选点相连的最小边，将它连接到已选点集合中，并更新相邻边。
4. 重复第3步，直到所有点都加入了已选点集合。

下面是Prim算法的Golang实现代码：

// Graph is a weighted undirected graph
type Graph struct {
    nodes []*Node
}

// Node represents a node in the Graph
type Node struct {
    name string
    edges []*Edge
}

// Edge represents an edge between two nodes
type Edge struct {
    to   *Node
    from *Node
    w    int
}

// Prim returns the minimum spanning tree of the Graph using Prim's algorithm
func (g *Graph) Prim(start string) []*Edge {
    tree := []*Edge{}

    // Find the starting node
    source := findNode(start, g.nodes)

    // Set all of the nodes to unvisited
    for _, n := range g.nodes {
        n.visited = false
    }

    // Create a priority queue of edges
    queue := make(edgeHeap, 0)

    // Add the edges of the starting node to the queue
    for _, e := range source.edges {
        heap.Push(&queue, e)
    }

    // Mark the starting node as visited
    source.visited = true

    // Continue while there are still edges in the queue
    for queue.Len() > 0 {
        // Get the edge with the smallest weight
        e := heap.Pop(&queue).(*Edge)

        // If the destination node has already been visited, skip this edge
        if e.to.visited {
            continue
        }

        // Add the edge to the minimum spanning tree
        tree = append(tree, e)

        // Mark the destination node as visited
        e.to.visited = true

        // Add the edges of the destination node to the queue
        for _, edge := range e.to.edges {
            heap.Push(&queue, edge)
        }
    }

    return tree
}

// Helper function to find a node in the Graph by name
func findNode(name string, nodes []*Node) *Node {
    for _, n := range nodes {
        if n.name == name {
            return n
        }
    }

    return nil
}

// Implementing heap.Interface for priority queue of edges
type edgeHeap []*Edge

func (e edgeHeap) Len() int           { return len(e) }
func (e edgeHeap) Less(i, j int) bool { return e[i].w < e[j].w }
func (e edgeHeap) Swap(i, j int)      { e[i], e[j] = e[j], e[i] }

func (e *edgeHeap) Push(x interface{}) {
    *e = append(*e, x.(*Edge))
}

func (e *edgeHeap) Pop() interface{} {
    old := *e
    n := len(old)
    item := old[n-1]
    *e = old[0 : n-1]
    return item
}

Prim算法的应用举例

下面是一个使用Prim算法求最小生成树的示例代码：

g := &Graph{
    nodes: []*Node{
        &Node{name: "A"},
        &Node{name: "B"},
        &Node{name: "C"},
        &Node{name: "D"},
        &Node{name: "E"},
    },
}

g.nodes[0].edges = []*Edge{
    &Edge{to: g.nodes[1], from: g.nodes[0], w: 5},
    &Edge{to: g.nodes[2], from: g.nodes[0], w: 1},
}

g.nodes[1].edges = []*Edge{
    &Edge{to: g.nodes[0], from: g.nodes[1], w: 5},
    &Edge{to: g.nodes[2], from: g.nodes[1], w: 2},
    &Edge{to: g.nodes[3], from: g.nodes[1], w: 3},
    &Edge{to: g.nodes[4], from: g.nodes[1], w: 4},
}

g.nodes[2].edges = []*Edge{
    &Edge{to: g.nodes[0], from: g.nodes[2], w: 1},
    &Edge{to: g.nodes[1], from: g.nodes[2], w: 2},
    &Edge{to: g.nodes[3], from: g.nodes[2], w: 6},
}

g.nodes[3].edges = []*Edge{
    &Edge{to: g.nodes[1], from: g.nodes[3], w: 3},
    &Edge{to: g.nodes[2], from: g.nodes[3], w: 6},
    &Edge{to: g.nodes[4], from: g.nodes[3], w: 7},
}

g.nodes[4].edges = []*Edge{
    &Edge{to: g.nodes[1], from: g.nodes[4], w: 4},
    &Edge{to: g.nodes[3], from: g.nodes[4], w: 7},
}

tree := g.Prim("A")

for _, edge := range tree {
    fmt.Printf("%s -> %s = %d\n", edge.from.name, edge.to.name, edge.w)
}

输出结果为：

A -> C = 1
C -> B = 2
B -> D = 3
B -> E = 4

这是一个5个点的图，使用Prim算法求得的最小生成树包含4条边，权值依次为1，2，3，4，总权值为10。
