The Kevin Bacon Game � Object: Link a movie actor to Kevin Bacon via shared movie roles. � For example: � Tom Hanks has Bacon number of 1 (Hanks and Bacon were in Apollo 13 together) � Sally Fields has Bacon number (she was in Forrest Gump with Hanks, who was in Apollo 13 Kevin Bacon with Bacon) � Question: � How do you find an actor’s Bacon number?
The Kevin Bacon Game (con’t) � Answer: � Vertex = actor � Edge (u,v) � actors u and v had shared movie role � Do BFS from Bacon to find other actors’ Bacon Number
Crazy Football Rankings � Input: list of football game scores (no ties) � Proof of “betterness”: Use silly transitivity to “prove” that a team is better than another � Question: � Given scores, and 2 teams (X and Y), how do you prove that X is better than Y (or vice versa), or indicate that no proof exists?
Crazy Football Rankings (con’t.) � Answer: � Vertex = team AL � Edge (u,v) � team u defeated v � Given X, Y, find path from X FL to Y (or Y to X). UT LSU Vandy
Word changes � A word can be changed to another word by a 1- character substitution. � Assume a dictionary of 5-letter words exists. � Question: � How can we determine if word A can be transformed to word B by a series of 1-character substitutions (and give the sequence of words)? � Example: � A: bleed � B: blood � A turns into B through sequence bleed, blend, blond, blood
Word changes (con’t.) � Answer: � Vertex = word � Edge from (u,v) � Words u and v differ by one character � Given X and Y, find path from X to Y flood bleed blood bland breed blend blond
Arbitrage � Input: � Collection of currencies and their exchange rates � Question: � Is there a series of exchanges that makes money instantly? � Example: X Y Z 300 Z’s buys 100 X’s, X 1 0.5 1/ 3 which will buy 200 Y’s, which will buy 400 Z’s Y 2 1 0.5 � Made 100 Z’s just Z 3 2 1 through exchanges
Arbitrage (con’t.) � Answer: � Vertex = currency � Edge (u,v) has weight log C, where exchange rate from u to v is C. � Search for negative cycle – this represents arbitrage play 0.48 Z � Note: -0.48 X 0.3 ∏ = -0.3 multiplication of exchange rates r 0.3 i i But, when finding paths, we add costs. -0.3 Y So, convert to form that works when adding costs: ∑ ∏ = ⇒ log( r ) (log ) r each edge is the log of the exchange rate i i i i
