We propose an approximation for the first return time distribution of random walks on undirected networks. We combine a message-passing solution with a mean-field approximation, to account for the short- and long-term behaviours…

For a random walk on a network, the mean first-passage time from a node $i$ to another node $j$ chosen stochastically according to the equilibrium distribution of Markov chain representing the random walk is called Kemeny constant, which is…

We consider a discrete-time random walk on a line starting at $x_0\geq 0$ where a cost is incurred at each jump. We obtain an exact analytical formula for the distribution of the total cost of a trajectory until the process crosses the…
