Abstract: The expected time for a random walk on an undirected graph G = (V; E) to visit all the vertices is O(jV jjEj) [AKLLR], and is O(jV j 2 ) for regular graphs [KLNS]. Here we show that both bounds hold even if we are required to traverse all the edges, although our bound for regular graphs requires that the degree be jV j ffi for some ffi ! 1. Keywords: random walk, cover time, combinatorial problems 1 Introduction A random walk on an undirected graph is the sequence of vertices visited by a ... (Update)

...(as happens on the barbell) There are a number of variations on the theme of Theorem 1, and we will give two. The first (due to Zuckerman [30], whose proof we follow) provides a nice illustration of probabilistic technique. Proposition 3 Write C e for the time to cover all...
