A Note on Ultrametric Spaces, Minimum Spanning Trees and the Topological Distance Algorithm

We relate the definition of an ultrametric space to the topological distance algorithm—an algorithm defined in the context of peer-to-peer network applications. Although (greedy) algorithms for constructing minimum spanning trees such as Prim’s or Kruskal’s algorithm have been known for a long time,...
