A method is described for calculating the mean cover time for a particle performing a simple random walk on the vertices of a finite connected graph. The method also yields the variance and generating function of the cover time. A computer program is available which utilises the approach to provide
This paper looks at random regular simple graphs and considers nearest neighbor random walks on such graphs. This paper considers walks where the degree d of each vertex is around (logn)", where a is a constant which is at least 2 and where n is the number of vertices. By extending techniques of Dou
