An Exploration of Graph Pebbling

Combinatorics 2023-05-01 v3 History and Overview Number Theory

Abstract

The topic of this treatise is a combinatorial technique called Graph Pebbling. We investigate pebbling numbers, weight functions, flow networks, hypercubes, and the zero-sum conjecture of Erd\H{o}s and Lemke. This investigation is a comprehensive starting point for anyone who wants to study graph pebbling for the first time, and also includes some new ideas and results for those who have studied it before.
