Dijkstra's algorithmRelated: It selects the unsettled vertex with the smallest tentative distance.
Huffman codingRelated: A minimum-priority queue selects the two least-weighted nodes at each merge.
Total orderRelated: A total order on priorities determines which element is next.
HeapsortRelated: Heapsort applies repeated priority-queue extraction to every input element.
Prim's algorithmRelated: It efficiently selects the cheapest edge or vertex on the tree's frontier.
