ABSTRACT
|
|
We show that the time for a random walk to cover all
the edges of a graph with m edges is bounded by 2m^2;
if all edges must be covered in both directions, 3m^2.
These results generalize to graphs with edge-lengths
(even with infinitely many vertices) and to Brownian
motion. Joint work with Agelos Georgakopoulos. *This talk will be held in SMI 311.
