In mathematics, random minimal spanning tree, or random MST, is a model (actually two related models) for a random spanning tree of a graph (see also minimal spanning tree). It might be compared against the uniform spanning tree, a different model for a random tree which has been researched much more extensively. For additional types of random tree, see random tree.

[who] have had minimal experience in negotiating dominant, external institutions or have had negative and hostile contact with social service agencies, their initial approaches to the school are often overwhelming and difficult. Not only does the school feel like an alien environment with incomprehensible norms and structures, but the families often do not feel entitled to make demands or force disagreements.”
—Sara Lawrence Lightfoot (20th century)
