Selection of Random Walkers that Optimizes the Global Mean First-Passage Time for Search in Complex Networks
Abstract We design a method to optimize the global mean first-passage time (GMFPT) of multiple random walkers searching in complex networks for a general target, without specifying the property of the target node. According to the Laplace...
