+\section{Classical algorithms}
 
+The three classical MST algorithms can be easily stated in terms of the Red-Blue meta-algorithm.
 
+\algn{Kruskal \cite{kruskal:mst}}
+\algo
+\algin A~graph~$G$ with an edge comparison oracle.
+\:Sort edges of~$G$ by their increasing weight.
+\:$T\=\emptyset$. \cmt{an empty spanning subgraph}
+\:For all edges $e$ in their sorted order:
+\::If $T+e$ is acyclic, add~$e$ to~$T$.
+\::Otherwise drop~$e$.
+\algout Minimum spanning tree~$T$.
+\endalgo
+
+\proof
+During the course of the algorithm, $T$ is a forest with all edges blue. Adding~$e$ to~$T$
+in step~4 applies the Blue rule on the cut separating two components of~$T$ ($e$ is the lightest,
+because all other edges of the cut have not been considered yet). Dropping~$e$ in step~5 corresponds
+to the red rule on the cycle found ($e$~must be the heaviest, since all other edges of the
+cycle have been already processed). At the end of the algorithm, all edges have been colored,
+so~$T$ must be the~MST.
+\qed
+
+\algn{Jarn\'\i{}k \cite{jarnik:ojistem}, Prim \cite{prim:mst}, Dijkstra \cite{dijkstra:mst}}
+\algo
+\algin A~graph~$G$ with an edge comparison oracle.
+\:$T\=$ a single-vertex tree containing any vertex of~$G$.
+\:While there are vertices outside $T$:
+\::Pick the lightest edge $uv$ such that $u\in V(T)$ and $v\not\in V(T)$.
+\::$T\=T+uv$.
+\algout Minimum spanning tree~$T$.
+\endalgo
+
+\proof
+In every step of the algorithm, $T$ is always a blue tree. Step~4 corresponds to applying
+the Blue rule to a cut between~$T$ and the rest of the given graph. We need not care about
+the remaining edges, since for a connected graph the algorithm always stops with the right
+number of blue edges.

+\algn{Bor\accent23uvka \cite{boruvka:ojistem}, Choquet \cite{choquet:mst}, Sollin \cite{sollin:mst} and others}
+\algo
+\algin A~graph~$G$ with an edge comparison oracle.
+\:$T\=$ a forest consisting of vertices of~$G$ and no edges.
+\:While $T$ is not connected:
+\::For each component $T_i$ of~$T$, choose the lightest edge $e_i$ from the cut
+   separating $T_i$ from the rest of~$T$.
+\::Add all $e_i$'s to~$T$.
+\algout Minimum spanning tree~$T$.
+\endalgo
+
+\proof
+Again $T$ is a blue forest, because every addition of some edge~$e_i$ to~$T$ is a straightforward
+application of the Blue rule. It remains to show that adding the edges simultaneously does not
+produce a cycle.
