Otakar Borůvka was a Czech mathematician, born in 1899 and died in 1995, best known for his work in graph theory. In 1926 he published a method of constructing an efficient electricity network for Moravia, which is now known as Borůvka's algorithm for finding a minimum spanning tree. The algorithm was rediscovered several times afterwards, including by Choquet in 1938 and by Georges Sollin in 1965.
