Minimum Spanning Tree

//! This module implements Kruskal's algorithm to find the Minimum Spanning Tree (MST)
//! of an undirected, weighted graph using a Disjoint Set Union (DSU) for cycle detection.

use crate::graph::DisjointSetUnion;

/// Represents an edge in the graph with a source, destination, and associated cost.
#[derive(Debug, PartialEq, Eq)]
pub struct Edge {
    /// The starting vertex of the edge.
    source: usize,
    /// The ending vertex of the edge.
    destination: usize,
    /// The cost associated with the edge.
    cost: usize,
}

impl Edge {
    /// Creates a new edge with the specified source, destination, and cost.
    pub fn new(source: usize, destination: usize, cost: usize) -> Self {
        Self {
            source,
            destination,
            cost,
        }
    }

/// Executes Kruskal's algorithm to compute the Minimum Spanning Tree (MST) of a graph.
///
/// # Parameters
///
/// - `edges`: A vector of `Edge` instances representing all edges in the graph.
/// - `num_vertices`: The total number of vertices in the graph.
///
/// # Returns
///
/// An `Option` containing a tuple with:
///
/// - The total cost of the MST (usize).
/// - A vector of edges that are included in the MST.
///
/// Returns `None` if the graph is disconnected.
///
/// # Complexity
///
/// The time complexity is O(E log E), where E is the number of edges.
