Spanning trees and random walks on weighted graphs

Xiao Chang, Hao Xu and Shing-Tung Yau

Vol. 273 (2015), No. 1, 241–255
Abstract

Using two graph invariants arising from Chung and Yau’s discrete Green’s function, we derive explicit formulas and new estimates of hitting times of random walks on weighted graphs through the enumeration of spanning trees.
