Where The Walk Steps Next

A node2vec walk on an unweighted graph just moved from tt to vv. Node vv has exactly three neighbours:

neighbour shortest-path distance from tt
tt 0
x1x_1 1
x2x_2 2

The unnormalised transition weight is αpq(t,x)\alpha_{pq}(t,x), equal to 1/p1/p when the distance is 0, 11 when it is 1, and 1/q1/q when it is 2. With p=0.5p = 0.5 and q=2q = 2, what is the probability that the walk's next step goes back to tt?

A

0.50.5

B

4/7≈0.5714/7 \approx 0.571

C

1/3≈0.3331/3 \approx 0.333

D

1/7≈0.1431/7 \approx 0.143
