摘要
We investigate special cases of the quadratic minimum spanning tree problem (QMSTP) on a graph that can be solved as a linear minimum spanning tree problem. We give a characterization of such problems when G is a complete graph, which is the standard case in the QMSTP literature. We extend our characterization to a larger class of graphs that include complete bipartite graphs and cactuses, among others. Our characterization can be verified in time. In the case of complete graphs and when the cost matrix is given in factored form, we show that our characterization can be verified in O(|E|) time. Related open problems are also indicated.
