Abstract

In this paper we consider the degree-wise effect of a second step for a random walk on a graph. We prove that under the configuration model, for any fixed degree sequence the probability of exceeding a given degree threshold is smaller after two steps than after one. This builds on recent work of Kramer et al. (2016) regarding the friendship paradox under random walks. © Applied Probability Trust 2018.
