Description

We show that the distance dependence of the source-to-target mean-first-passage time (MFPT) on a finite network with M links is approximately given by 2M times the target-to-shell resistance. For networks on which a random walker is transient the long-range MFPT is well approximated by the site-dependent resistance from the target to infinity. The result extends a recent scaling result for the MFPT to site-inhomogeneous lattices where the MFPT depends on the location of the source and targets and can be highly source-target asymmetric.

Citation counts are sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science® citation databases.

These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.
