Exact and Approximate Mean First Passage Times on Trees and other Necklace Structures: a Local Equilibrium Approach

Yanik-Pascal Förster, Luca Gamberi, Evan Tzanis +2

In this work we propose a novel method to calculate mean first-passage times (MFPTs) for random walks on graphs, based on a dimensionality reduction technique for Markov State Mode…
