Description

The Head Elder of the tropical island of Lagrishan has a problem. A burst of foreign aid money was spent on extra roads between villages some years ago. But the jungle overtakes roads relentlessly, so the large road network is too expensive to maintain. The Council of Elders must choose to stop maintaining some roads. The map above on the left shows all the roads in use now and the cost in aacms per month to maintain them. Of course there needs to be some way to get between all the villages on maintained roads, even if the route is not as short as before. The Chief Elder would like to tell the Council of Elders what would be the smallest amount they could spend in aacms per month to maintain roads that would connect all the villages. The villages are labeled A through I in the maps above. The map on the right shows the roads that could be maintained most cheaply, for 216 aacms per month. Your task is to write a program that will solve such problems. 

Input

The input consists of one to 100 data sets, followed by a final line containing only 0. Each data set starts with a line containing only a number n, which is the number of villages, 1 < n < 27, and the villages are labeled with the first n letters of the alphabet, capitalized. Each data set is completed with n-1 lines that start with village labels in alphabetical order. There is no line for the last village. Each line for a village starts with the village label followed by a number, k, of roads from this village to villages with labels later in the alphabet. If k is greater than 0, the line continues with data for each of the k roads. The data for each road is the village label for the other end of the road followed by the monthly maintenance cost in aacms for the road. Maintenance costs will be positive integers less than 100. All data fields in the row are separated by single blanks. The road network will always allow travel between all the villages. The network will never have more than 75 roads. No village will have more than 15 roads going to other villages (before or after in the alphabet). In the sample input below, the first data set goes with the map above. 

Output

The output is one integer per line for each data set: the minimum cost in aacms per month to maintain a road system that connect all the villages. Caution: A brute force solution that examines every possible set of roads will not finish within the one minute time limit.

大致题意：在相通n个岛屿的所有桥都坏了，要重修，重修每一个桥所用的时间不同，求重修使每个岛屿都间接或直接与其他岛屿相连时所用的的最短时间（只有修完一个桥后才可修下一个桥）。
简言之就是求最小生成树。

对于数据，数据输入的第一行n代表岛屿的个数，当为0是结束程序，接着n-1行开始时为这岛屿的编号，用大写字母表示，接着是一个整数m，表示与该岛屿连接的字典序大于该岛屿编号的个数，
然后该行输入m对数据，每对数据的第一个字母表示与该岛屿连通的岛屿的编号，第二个数字表示要重修两岛屿之间桥所需要的时间，输出数据见样例及原题。

该题图为稀疏图，用Kruskal算法比较好，经过昨天对于生成树的题目的训练

prim：// 不懂见百度百科 

思路：一直找最小的边直到所有的点都被加到最小生成树中

#include<iostream>using namespace std;#define mx 1<<29int map[30][30];int r[30],v[30];int n,m,t,i,j,p,mi;char a,b;void prim(){    for(i=0; i<n; i++)    {        r[i]=map[0][i];        v[i]=0;    }    for(i=1; i<=n; i++)    {        mi=mx;        for(j=0; j<n; j++)            if(!v[j] && r[j]<mi)                mi=r[j],p=j;        v[p]=1;        for(j=0; j<n; j++)            if(!v[j] && map[p][j]<r[j])                r[j]=map[p][j];    }    for(i=1; i<n; i++) r[0]+=r[i];    cout<<r[0]<<endl;}int main(){    while(cin>>n && n)    {        for(i=0; i<n; i++)            for(j=0; j<n; j++)                if(i==j) map[i][j]=0;                else map[i][j]=mx;        for(i=1; i<n; i++)        {            cin>>a>>m;            while(m--)            {                cin>>b>>t;                map[a-‘A‘][b-‘A‘]=map[b-‘A‘][a-‘A‘]=t;            }        }        prim();    }    return 0;}

Kruskal: 假设 WN=(V,{E}) 是一个含有 n 个顶点的连通网，则按照克鲁斯卡尔算法构造最小生成树的过程为：先构造一个只含 n 个顶点，而边集为空的子图，若将该子图中各个顶点看成是各棵树上的根结点，则它是一个含有 n 棵树的一个森林。之后，从网的边集 E 中选取一条权值最小的边，若该条边的两个顶点分属不同的树，则将其加入子图，也就是说，将这两个顶点分别所在的两棵树合成一棵树；反之，若该条边的两个顶点已落在同一棵树上，则不可取，而应该取下一条权值最小的边再试之。依次类推，直至森林中只有一棵树，也即子图中含有 n-1条边为止。

代码：

#include<iostream>#include<algorithm>using namespace std;struct Edge{    int b,e,w;} r[900];int p[30];int n,m,t,k,q,ans;char a,b;int i,j;int cmp(Edge x,Edge y){    return x.w<y.w;}int Find(int x){    if(x!=p[x]) p[x]=Find(p[x]);    return p[x];}void Union(int x,int y){    x=Find(x);    y=Find(y);    p[y]=x;}void kruskal(){    q=0;    ans=0;    for(i=0; i<k; i++)    {        if(Find(r[i].b) != Find(r[i].e))        {            ans+=r[i].w;            Union(r[i].b,r[i].e);            q++;        }        if(q==n-1) break;    }    cout<<ans<<endl;}int main(){    while(cin>>n && n)    {        for(i=0; i<n; i++)            p[i]=i;        k=0;        for(i=1; i<n; i++)        {            cin>>a>>m;            while(m--)            {                cin>>b>>t;                r[k].b=a-‘A‘;                r[k].e=b-‘A‘;                r[k++].w=t;            }        }        sort(r,r+k,cmp);        kruskal();    }    return 0;}//注意一下有时候用到并查集的路径压缩
