Method and System for graphically determining the degree of separation between banks in a correspondent banking network

摘要

The present invention discloses a method for determining the minimum degree of separation between two banks using graphical methods. In this method, a graphical representation of the banking network is created where the vertices on the graphs represent banks and the graph edges represent correspondent relationships between banks. Using this graph, the degree of separation of any two banks may be computed as the minimum number of edges in any path linking the two banks.
