摘要
The expected hitting time H-xy is the expected number of steps it takes for a random walk that starts at x to reach y . For a vertex x of G, the cover cost of x, denoted by CCG(x), is defined as the sum of the expected hitting time for a random walk starting at x to visit all vertices of G . In this paper, we first reveal a close connection between the cover cost and some related graph invariants of bicyclic graphs, and then present sharp bounds of CCG(x) among all bicyclic graphs of order n and characterize the corresponding extremal graphs.
