Abstract: We study discrete random walks on the NFSFT and provide new methods to calculate the analytic solutions of the MFPT for any pair of nodes, the MTT for any target node and MDT for any source node. Further more, using the MTT and the MDT as the measures of trapping efficiency and diffusion efficiency respectively, we compare the trapping efficiency and diffusion efficiency for any two nodes of NFSFT and find the best (or worst) trapping sites and the best (or worst) diffusion sites. Our results show that: the two hubs of NFSFT is the best trapping site, but it is also the worst diffusion site, the nodes which are the farthest nodes from the two hubs are the worst trapping sites, but they are also the best diffusion sites. Comparing the maximum and minimum of MTT and MDT, we found that the ratio between the maximum and minimum of MTT grows logarithmically with network order, but the ratio between the maximum and minimum of MTT is almost equal to 1. These results implie that the trap's position has great effect on the trapping efficiency, but the position of source node almost has no effect on diffusion efficiency. We also conducted numerical simulation to test the results we have derived, the results we derived are consistent with those obtained by numerical simulation.
