Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) Recently, mathematical properties of random walks on a graph have been studied. Also, several extended models of a simple random walk, such as the non-backtracking random walk, the self-avoiding random walk, and the branching random walk, have been actively studied. The non-backtracking random walk is a simple random walk with a simple mechanism of prohibiting revisits to nodes that have been visited immediately before. The non-backtracking random walk is known to have better properties than a simple random walk. However, the effect of graph structure on the properties of the non-backtracking random has not been clarified well. In this paper, we derive the mean first passage time of the non-backtracking random walk on two types of graphs (i.e., random regular graphs and graphs generated by the configuration model) and the mean cover time of the non-backtracking random walk on random regular graphs. Furthermore, we analyze the impact of the graph structure on the mean first passage time and the mean cover time of the non-backtracking random walk by several numerical examples.
