Interference among concurrent MWOE searches Suppose C gets absorbed into C′ via an edge from i to j, while C′ is working on determining its MWOE. Two cases: j has not yet reported its local mwoe when the absorb occurs. Then it’s not too late to include C in the search for the MWOE of C′. So j forwards the initiate message into C. j has already reported its local mwoe. Then it’s too late to include C in the search. But it doesn’t matter: the MWOE for the combined component can’t be outgoing from a node in C anyhow! * A few details Specific messages: initiate:Broadcast from leader to find MWOE;
