A Tight Upper Bound on the Hitting and the Cover times of Metropolis Walks

Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) andom walks on finite graphs are random token circulation on graphs. Random walks such that token moves to adjacent vertices with uniformprobability are called standard random walk. For any graph with $n$ vertices, the hitting time and the cover times of standard random walk are bounded by $O(n^3)$. In this report, we would like to show the hitting and the cover times of Metropolis walks are bounded by $O(fn^2)$ and $O(fn^2\log n)$ respectively. Where, $f$ is the maximum ratio of stationary distribution.
