Aleliunas et al. [3] proved that for a random walk on a connected raph G = (V, E) on N vertices, the expected minimum number of steps to visit all vertices is bounded by 2|E|(N - 1), regardless of the initial state. We give here a simple proof of that result through an equality involving hitting times of vertices that can be extended to an inequality for hitting times of edges, thus obtaining a bound for the expected minimum number of steps to visit all edges exactly once in each direction.
