A Spanning Tree Method for Bounding Hitting Times of Random Walks on Graphs
In this paper we consider the problem of computing the expected hitting time to a vertex for random walks on graphs. We give a method for computing an upper bound on the expected ...

Quantum Random Walks Hit Exponentially Faster
We show that the hitting time of the discrete time quantum random walk on the n-bit hypercube from one corner to its opposite is polynomial in n. This gives the first exponential ...

A New Approach to Estimating the Expected First Hitting Time of Evolutionary Algorithms
The expected first hitting time is an important issue in theoretical analyses of evolutionary algorithms since it implies the average computational time complexity. In this paper,...
