摘要: The rotor router model is a popular deterministic analogue of random walk on graph. Instead moving to neighbor, the neighbors are served in fixed order. We examine how fast this "deterministic walk" covers all vertices (or edges). present general techniques derive upper bounds for vertex and edge cover time matching lower several important graph classes. Depending topology, can be asymptotically faster, slower or equally compared classical walk.
