Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) Given a graph $G$ of $n$ vertices whose edge weights are
random variables and obey mutually
independent normal distributions, we consider a stochastic
minimum spanning tree problem. The weight of the minimum
spanning tree is also a random variable, but
its distribution function $F_{\rm MST}(x)$ cannot be represented by
a simple distribution function in general.
We show an algorithm, whose
output is a approximation function $\tilde F(x)$ of
the distribution function of
stochastic minimum spanning tree weight.
Its running time is $O({\rm MST}(G) + m + n\log n)$,
where $m$ is the number of edges in $G$ and
${\rm MST}(G)$ is the time complexity of
the (deterministic) minimum spanning tree weights.
Let $\cal{T}$ be the family of all spanning trees in $G$.
$\tilde F(x)$ gives an upper bound
on $F_{\rm MST}(x)$ for $x$ such that $\tilde F(x)\le 1-2^{-|\cal{T}|}$,
and $\tilde F(x)$ satisfies that
$|F_{\rm MST}^{-1}(a)-\tilde F^{-1}(a)|=o(n\sigma\sqrt{\log n})$
for $0< a \le 1-2^{-|\cal{T}|}$
where $\sigma^2$ is the maximum variance of edge weights.
