The Cover Time of a Biased Random Walk on a Random Cubic Graph

pdf-format:
LIPIcs-AofA-2018-16.pdf (0.5 MB)

Abstract

We study a random walk that prefers to use unvisited edges in the context of random cubic graphs, i.e., graphs chosen uniformly at random from the set of 3-regular graphs. We establish asymptotically correct estimates for the vertex and edge cover times, these being n log n and 3/2 n log n respectively.
