Symmetric Random Walks on Three Half-Cubes. International Journal of Mathematics, Statistics and Operations Research, 2(2), 101–130. https://doi.org/10.47509/IJMSOR.2022.v02i02.02https://hdl.handle.net/1805/38130We study random walks on the vertices of three non-isomorphic halfcubes obtained from a cube by a plane cut through its center. Starting from a particular vertex (called the origin), at each step a particle moves, independently of all previous moves, to one of the vertices adjacent to the current vertex with equal probability. We find the means and the standard deviations of the number of steps needed to: (1) return to origin, (2) visit all vertices, and (3) return to origin after visiting all vertices. We also find (4) the probability distribution of the last vertex visited.en-USPublisher PolicyAbsorbing StateCover TimeEventual TransitionOne-step TransitionRecursive RelationTransient StateArticle
