Random Walks on Highly Symmetric Graphs
نویسنده
چکیده
We consider uniform random walks on finite graphs with n nodes. When the hitting times are symmetric, the expected covering time is at least 89 log n O(n log log n) uniformly over all such graphs. We also obtain bounds for the covering times in terms of the eigenvalues of the transition matrix of the Markov chain. For distance-regular graphs, a general lower bound of ( n 1 ) l o g n is obtained. For hypercubes and binomial coefficient graphs, the limit law of the covering time is obtained as well.

Continuous-Time Quantum Walks on the Symmetric Group
In this paper we study continuous-time quantum walks on Cayley graphs of the symmetric group, and prove various facts concerning such walks that demonstrate significant differences from their classical analogues. In particular, we show that for several natural choices for generating sets, these quantum walks do not have uniform limiting distributions, and are effectively blind to large areas of...
متن کاملThe Second Eigenvalue of Random Walks On Symmetric Random Intersection Graphs
In this paper we examine spectral properties of random intersection graphs when the number of vertices is equal to the number of labels. We call this class symmetric random intersection graphs. We examine symmetric random intersection graphs when the probability that a vertex selects a label is close to the connectivity threshold τc. In particular, we examine the size of the second eigenvalue o...
متن کاملWalks on Weighted Graphs
We now define random walks on weighted graphs. We will let A denote the adjacency matrix of a weighted graph. We will also the graph to have self-loops, which will correspond to diagonal entries in A. Thus, the only restriction on A is that is be symmetric and non-negative. When our random walk is at a vertex u, it will go to node v with probability proportional to au,v: mu,v def = au,v ∑ w au,w .
متن کاملRandom Walks on the finite Components of random Partial Graphs of Transitive Graphs
The expected n-step return-probability EμP [X̂n = o] of a random walk X̂n with symmetric transition probabilities on a random partial graph of a regular graph G of degree δ with transitive automorphism group Aut(G) is considered. The law μ of the random edge-set is assumed to be stationary with respect to some transitive, unimodular subgroup Γ of Aut(G). By the spectral theory of finite random wa...
متن کاملSymmetric Groups and Expander Graphs
We construct explicit generating sets Sn and S̃n of the alternating and the symmetric groups, which turn the Cayley graphs C(Alt(n), Sn) and C(Sym(n), S̃n) into a family of bounded degree expanders for all n. This answers affirmatively an old question which has been asked many times in the literature. These expanders have many applications in the theory of random walks on groups, card shuffling a...
