We study the cover time of a random walk on the largest component of the random graph G n , p . We determine its value up to a factor 1 + o (1) whenever n p = c > 1, c = O (ln n ). In particular, we show that the cover time is not monotone for c = Θ (ln n ). We also determine the cover time of the k ‐cores, k ≥ 2. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Random Struct. Alg., 2008
