Abstract
In this study we have carried out computer simulations of random walks on W atts-Strogatz-type small world networks and measured the mean number of vis ited sites and the return probabilities. These quantities were found to obe y scaling behavior with intuitkely reasoned exponents as long as the probab ility p of having a long range bond was sufficiently low.
