Popis: A mixed spanning tree is a tree that seeks to combine the properties of a minimim weight spanning tree and shortest path tree. We concentrate on the problem for complete Euclidean graphs. A survey of prior algorithms is given and several new algorithms are proposed. New analyses of some known algorithms are provided. All the algorithms are compared empirically and it is shown that the algorithms with the best known performance bounds, perform the worst in practice. Evidence is given to support the hypothesis that the performance depends on the algorithm's use of long edges.
