On the Moments of Hitting Times for Random Walks on Trees

José Luis Palacios

Journal of Probability and Statistics, 2009, vol. 2009, 1-4

Abstract:

Using classical arguments we derive a formula for the moments of hitting times for an ergodic Markov chain. We apply this formula to the case of simple random walk on trees and show, with an elementary electric argument, that all the moments are natural numbers.
