Dijkstra's algorithm

The process that underlies Dijkstra's algorithm is similar to the greedy process used in Prim's algorithm.

Directed acyclic graph

In contrast, for arbitrary graphs the shortest path may require slower algorithms such as Dijkstra's algorithm or the Bellman–Ford algorithm, and longest paths in arbitrary graphs are NP-hard to find.

Euclidean minimum spanning tree

The simplest algorithm to find an EMST in two dimensions, given n points, is to actually construct the complete graph on n vertices, which has n(n-1)/2 edges, compute each edge weight by finding the distance between each pair of points, and then run a standard minimum spanning tree algorithm (such as the version of Prim's algorithm or Kruskal's algorithm) on it.

Since there are O(n) edges, this requires O(n log n) time using any of the standard minimum spanning tree algorithms such as Borůvka's algorithm, Prim's algorithm, or Kruskal's algorithm.

Grover, Colorado

Willa Cather's 1900 short story The Affair at Grover Station contains a description of Grover, as per, 'You know what Grover is, a red box of a station, section house barricaded by coal sheds and a little group of dwellings at the end of everything, with the desert running out on every side to the sky line.'.

Jeff Weise

(He sets the story in Grover's Mill, Minnesota, which is reminiscent of Grover's Mill, New Jersey, the site of a fictional landing of aliens in the radio version of War of the Worlds, broadcast in 1939 starring Orson Welles).

It can be further improved by Gabow's algorithm that runs in worst case O(n^3) time.

Marcus M. Drake

Upon the resignation of Grover Cleveland as mayor on November 20, 1882 to take the Governor's seat, the Common Council elected Drake to fill the vacancy until a special election could be held in early January 1883.

Minor Michigan infantry units of the American Civil War

The Stanton Guard was organized at Detroit, Michigan in April 1862 by Captain Grover S. Wormer and mustered in on May 10, to serve as guards over General William G. Harding, Washington Barrow and Judge Joseph C. Guild, three Confederate sympathizers from Nashville, TN sent as prisoners to the fort on Mackinac Island.
