Monotonicity in the number of walkers

From papers

Let GG be a vertex-transitive graph with stationary distribution π\pi. For k    2k\;\geqslant\;2, let SC(G,k)\mathrm{SC}(G,k) be the social connectivity time when kk walkers independently start from vertices sampled according to π\pi. Monotonicity in the number of walkers. The expectation E[SC(G,k)]\mathbb{E}[\mathrm{SC}(G,k)] is monotonically non-increasing in kk for k    2k\;\geqslant\;2. Thus, adding walkers should not increase the expected social connectivity time on a vertex-transitive graph.
