Abstract

A popular technique to sample fixed-size connected induced subgraphs of a graph, also known as graphlets, is based on running a certain random walk designed over the space of all graphlets in the graph. This technique requires knowledge of the mixing time of the walk but, unfortunately, no satisfying bounds are known. In this paper we provide upper and lower bounds on such a mixing time, showing how it is intimately tied to the mixing time of the original graph, and to its maximum and minimum degree.
