The mean first passage time as a natural diffusion distance by Maxim J. Goldberg, Seonja Kim

“…Even if the transition matrix does not arise from heat flow, and may in fact be non-symmetric and non-bistochastic, we note that the MFPT satisfies the triangle inequality. Moreover, various efficient ways to compute the MFPT, and approximations to the MFPT, have been proposed in the literature.Additionally, we establish a novel connection between certain mean first passage times and the sum of squares of Coifman-Lafon diffusion distances across all scales.…”
