摘要
We prove an explicit formula of Chung-Yau's Discrete Green's functions as well as hitting times of random walks on graphs. The formula is expressed in terms of two natural counting invariants of graphs. Uniform derivations of Green's functions and hitting times for trees and other special graphs are given.
