"""Borůvka's algorithm.

    Determines the minimum spanning tree (MST) of a graph using the Borůvka's algorithm.
    Borůvka's algorithm is a greedy algorithm for finding a minimum spanning tree in a
    connected graph, or a minimum spanning forest if a graph that is not connected.

    The time complexity of this algorithm is O(ELogV), where E represents the number
    of edges, while V represents the number of nodes.
    O(number_of_edges Log number_of_nodes)

    The space complexity of this algorithm is O(V + E), since we have to keep a couple
    of lists whose sizes are equal to the number of nodes, as well as keep all the
    edges of a graph inside of the data structure itself.

    Borůvka's algorithm gives us pretty much the same result as other MST Algorithms -
    they all find the minimum spanning tree, and the time complexity is approximately
    the same.

    One advantage that Borůvka's algorithm has compared to the alternatives is that it
    doesn't need to presort the edges or maintain a priority queue in order to find the
    minimum spanning tree.
    Even though that doesn't help its complexity, since it still passes the edges logE
    times, it is a bit simpler to code.
