Abstract

Spanning trees problems defined in apreference-based environment are addressed. In thisapproach, optimality conditions for the well-knownminimum-weight spanning tree problem are generalizedto be used with more general preference orders. Then,necessary and/or sufficient properties of the preferencerelations are studied, in order to assure that the set of‘most preferred’ trees is the set of spanning treesverifying the optimality conditions. Finally, an algorithmfor the construction of the set of spanning trees fulfillingthe optimality conditions is designed.
