This problem is basically about markov chains.

Oct 19, 2018 at 12:01 comment added LeechLattice What if the graph in question is a cycle graph?
Oct 18, 2018 at 20:15 comment added Johnny Cage Sure: I forgot to say that we want of course to avoid bipartiteness... apart from this natural condition, are there other obstructions?
Oct 18, 2018 at 13:10 comment added Marcus M No such universal condition may exist; if a graph is bipartite, then all walks are periodic and no stationary distribution exists. The $d$-cubes are all bipartite (if you view each vertex as a binary string then the parity of each vertex is the parity of the hamming weight), and thus no stationary distribution exists for any random walk on them.
Oct 18, 2018 at 5:34 comment added Johnny Cage By 'universal' I mean not depending on the graph, but only if it is k-regular or not (for instance, or any other general condition) . The first thing I would like to know (i.e., references) if starting at a fixed vertex there is a uniform distribution to arrive to any other independently of the graph. I am happy with the restriction of the graph to be k-regular.
Oct 18, 2018 at 0:00 comment added Marcus M What do you mean by 'universal'? Many of these walks will be periodic on regular graphs (the $d$-dimensional hypercube is $d$-regular and bipartite).
