Is there any simple way of solving Edge removal? (The MST problem)

    Not sure what do you mean by "simple". The solution is based on Kruskal algorithm: There can be multiple MSTs, if there are some equal weight edges connecting same components. So:

    • Process edges in increasing order of weight
    • For edges of some weight w, ignore the edges connecting vertices belonging to same components using only edges with weight < w.
    • Amongst the other edges, find those connecting same components.
