Abstract
We determine exactly the expected number of hamilton cycles in the random graph obtained by starting with n isolated vertices and adding edges at random until each vertex degree is at least two. This complements recent work of Cooper and Frieze. There are similar results concerning expected numbers, for example, of perfect matchings, spanning trees, hamilton paths, and directed hamilton cycles.

We study the symmetry properties in weak products of graphs which are inherited from the coordinate graphs and which enable the computation of expected hitting times for a random walk on the product graph. We obtain explicit values for expected hitting times between non-neighboring vertices of the p
A random walk on a graph is defined in which a particle moves from one vertex to any adjoining vertex, each with equal probability. The expected number of steps to get from one point to another is considered. It is shown that the maximum expectation for a graph with N vertices is O(N3). It is also s
