Chapter 5.1, Problem 31ES

Degrees of Separation In the graph below, an edge connects two vertices if the corresponding people have communicated by text message. Here we define the degree of separation between two individuals to be the minimum number of steps required to link one person to another through text message communications. This is equivalent to the (minimum) number of edges in a path connecting the corresponding vertices. For example, Karina and Lois have a degree of separation of 2.

Chapter 5.1, Problem 31ES, Degrees of Separation In the graph below, an edge connects two vertices if the corresponding people

a. What is the degree of separation between Morgan and Maria?

b. What is the degree of separation between Wayne and Alexander?

c. Who has the largest degree of separation from Alyssa?
