\begin{abstract}

We present a randomized linear-time algorithm to find a minimum spanning tree
  in a connected graph with edge weights. The algorithm uses random sampling in
  combination with a recently discovered linear-time algorithm for verifying a
  minimum spanning tree. Our computational model is a unit-cost random-access
  machine with the restriction that the only operations allowed on edge weights
  are binary comparisons.
