https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Random%20minimum%20spanning%20tree | In mathematics, a random minimum spanning tree may be formed by assigning random weights from some distribution to the edges of an undirected graph, and then constructing the minimum spanning tree of the graph.
When the given graph is a complete graph on vertices, and the edge weights have a continuous distribution f... |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Projective%20line%20over%20a%20ring | In mathematics, the projective line over a ring is an extension of the concept of projective line over a field. Given a ring A with 1, the projective line P(A) over A consists of points identified by projective coordinates. Let U be the group of units of A; pairs and from are related when there is a u in U such tha... |
