Notes:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pajek network converted to sparse adjacency matrix for inclusion in UF sparse
matrix collection, Tim Davis. For Pajek datasets, See V. Batagelj & A. Mrvar,
http://vlado.fmf.uni-lj.si/pub/networks/data/.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A(i,j)=1 if actor j played in movie i. colname(j,:) is the name of the actor.
Column j = 362,181 is Kevin Bacon. Year of movie i is year(i).
category(i) gives the category of movie i, use code(category(i),:).
1: Drama, 2: Short, 3: Documentary, 4: Comedy, 5: Western, 6: Family,
7: Mystery, 8: Thriller, 9: -, 10: Music, 11: Crime, 12: Sci-Fi, 13: Horror,
14: War, 15: Fantasy, 16: Romance, 17: Adventure, 18: Animation, 19: Action,
20: Musical, 21: Film-Noir, 99: Unknown.
Remember that in MATLAB, A(i,:) is slow to compute; A(:,i) is faster. If you
want row i of a sparse matrix, access the ith column of the transpose instead.
aux.ActorBacon(j) is the Bacon number of actor j. aux.MovieBacon(i) is the
Bacon number of movie i. The largest ActorBacon number is 8 (for 10 actors).
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MATLAB code for computing the Bacon numbers
Bacon = Problem.aux.KevinBacon ;
Bacon = Problem.aux.KevinBacon ;
A = Problem.A ;
[m n] = size (A) ;
C = [speye(m) A ; A' speye(n)] ;
x = zeros (m+n,1) ;
B = inf * ones (m+n,1) ;
x (m + Bacon) = 1 ;
B (m + Bacon) = 0 ;
tlen = 1 ;
for k = 1:m+n
x = x + C*x ;
t = find (x) ;
if (tlen == length (t))
break
end
tlen = length (t) ;
B (t) = min (B (t), k) ;
end
MovieBacon = (B (1:m) - 1) / 2 ;
ActorBacon = B (m+1:end) / 2 ;
