Abstract: We develop algebras for aggregation and minimisation for weight matrices and for edge weights in graphs. We verify the correctness of Prim's and Kruskal's minimum spanning tree algorithms based on these algebras. We also show numerous instances of these algebras based on linearly ordered commutative semigroups.
