Given a configuration of pebbles on the vertices of a graph, a pebbling move is defined by removing two pebbles from some vertex and placing one pebble on an adjacent vertex. The cover pebbling number of a graph, gamma(G), is the smallest…

Given a configuration of pebbles on the vertices of a connected graph $G$, a \emph{pebbling move} removes two pebbles from some vertex and places one pebble on an adjacent vertex. The \emph{pebbling number} of a graph $G$ is the smallest…

Graph pebbling is a game played on graphs with pebbles on their vertices. A pebbling move removes two pebbles from one vertex and places one pebble on an adjacent vertex. The pebbling number $\pi(G)$ is the smallest $t$ so that from any…

Let $G=(V,E)$ be a simple graph. A pebbling configuration on $G$ is a function $f:V\rightarrow \mathbb{N}\cup \{0\}$ that assigns a non-negative integer number of pebbles to each vertex. The weight of a configuration $f$ is $w(f)=\sum_{u\in…

Consider a distribution of pebbles on a connected graph $G$. A pebbling move removes two pebbles from a vertex and places one to an adjacent vertex. A vertex is reachable under a pebbling distribution if it has a pebble after the…

Let $G=(V,E)$ be a simple graph. A function $f:V\rightarrow \mathbb{N}\cup \{0\}$ is called a configuration of pebbles on the vertices of $G$ and the weight of $f$ is $w(f)=\sum_{u\in V}f(u)$ which is just the total number of pebbles…

A pebbling move on a graph consists of taking two pebbles off from one vertex and add one pebble on an adjacent vertex, the $t$-pebbling number of a graph $G$ is the minimum number of pebbles so that we can move $t$ pebbles on any vertex on…

In the game of pegging, each vertex of a graph is considered a hole into which a peg can be placed. A pegging move is performed by jumping one peg over another peg, and then removing the peg that has been jumped over from the graph. We…

Given an initial configuration of pebbles on a graph, one can move pebbles in pairs along edges, at the cost of one of the pebbles moved, with the objective of reaching a specified target vertex. The pebbling number of a graph is the…

A pebbling move on a graph consists of removing $2$ pebbles from a vertex and adding $1$ pebble to one of the neighbouring vertices. A vertex is called reachable if we can put $1$ pebble on it after a sequence of moves. The optimal pebbling…

In this paper, we define a new parameter of a graph as a spin-off of the pebbling number (which is the smallest $t$ such that every supply of $t$ pebbles can satisfy every demand of one pebble). This new parameter is the singular pebbling…

A configuration of pebbles on the vertices of a graph is solvable if one can place a pebble on any given root vertex via a sequence of pebbling steps. The pebbling number of a graph G is the minimum number pi(G) so that every configuration…

For any configuration of pebbles on the nodes of a graph, a pebbling move replaces two pebbles on one node by one pebble on an adjacent node. A cover pebbling is a move sequence ending with no empty nodes. The number of pebbles needed for a…

Consider a configuration of pebbles on the vertices of a connected graph. A pebbling move is to remove two pebbles from a vertex and to place one pebble at the neighbouring vertex of the vertex from which the pebbles are removed. For a…

A pebbling move on a graph removes two pebbles at a vertex and adds one pebble at an adjacent vertex. Rubbling is a version of pebbling where an additional move is allowed. In this new move, one pebble each is removed at vertices $v$ and…

This work is concerned with the study of the Game of Graph Nim -- a class of two-player combinatorial games -- on graphs with $4$ edges. To each edge of such a graph is assigned a positive-integer-valued edge-weight, and during each round…

Distributions of pebbles to the vertices of a graph are said to be solvable when a pebble may be moved to any specified vertex using a sequence of admissible pebbling rules. The optimal pebbling number is the least number of pebbles needed…
