Let G=(V,E,w) be a complete graph with n vertices and distinct positive edge
weights w. We fix a constant k \in {1,2,...,n-1}. For any subset of vertices
X of V with cardinality k-1 we denote by MST(G\X) the set of edges contained
in the minimum spanning tree in the subgraph G[V\X]. Goemans and Vondrak
observed that many edges in G have the property that they are not contained
in any minimum spanning tree of the form MST(G\X) where X is as described
above. More precisely let M_k be the set of edges contained in any minimum
spanning tree of the form MST(G\X), i.e. M_k=\cup_{X\subseteq V,
|X|=k-1} MST(G\X).
Goemans and Vondrak made the following conjecture:
|M_k| <= n*k-0.5*(k+1)*k.
A proof of this conjecture will be presented in this talk.
Joint work with Gregory B. Sorkin and Angelika Steger.
