We analyse the cover time of a random walk on a random graph of a given degree sequence. Weights are assigned to the edges of the graph using a certain type of scheme that uses only local degree knowledge. This biases the transitions of the walk towards lower degree vertices. We demonstrate that, with high probability, the cover time is at most, wheredis the minimum degree. This is in contrast to the precise cover time of(with high probability) given in [1] for a simple (i.e., unbiased) random walk on the same graph model. Hereis the average degree and since the ratiocan be arbitrarily large, or go to infinity withn, we see that the scheme can give an unbounded speed up for sparse graphs.
