On the cover time of {\lambda}-biased walk on supercritical Galton-Watson trees

Abstract

In this paper, we study the time required for a {\lambda}-biased ({\lambda}>1) walk to visit all the vertices of a supercritical Galton-Watson tree up to generation n. Inspired by the extremal landscape approach in [Cortines, Louidor, Saglietti 2018] for the simple random walk on binary trees, we establish the scaling limit of the cover time in the biased setting.
