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. A function is a pebbling threshold for a sequence of graphs if a randomly chosen…

A graph puzzle ${\rm Puz}(G)$ of a graph $G$ is defined as follows. A configuration of ${\rm Puz}(G)$ is a bijection from the set of vertices of a board graph to the set of vertices of a pebble graph, both graphs being isomorphic to some…

Given a graph $G$ and two vertices $s$ and $t$ in it, {\em graph reachability} is the problem of checking whether there exists a path from $s$ to $t$ in $G$. We show that reachability in directed layered planar graphs can be decided in…

In a graph G with a distribution of pebbles on its vertices, a pebbling move is the removal of two pebbles from one vertex and the addition of one pebble to an adjacent vertex. A weight function on G is a non-negative integer-valued…

It is shown that $S(G) = O\left(m/\log_2 m + d\right)$ pebbles are sufficient to pebble any DAG $G=(V,E)$, with $m$ edges and maximum in-degree $d$. It was previously known that $S(G) = O\left(d n/\log n\right)$. The result builds on two…

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 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…

We consider the following matching-based routing problem. Initially, each vertex $v$ of a connected graph $G$ is occupied by a pebble which has a unique destination $\pi(v)$. In each round the pebbles across the edges of a selected matching…

A pebbling move on a graph consists of taking two pebbles off of one vertex and placing one pebble on an adjacent vertex. In the traditional pebbling problem we try to reach a specified vertex of the graph by a sequence of pebbling moves.…

Given a distribution of pebbles on the vertices of a graph G, a {\it pebbling move} takes two pebbles from one vertex and puts one on a neighboring vertex. The {\it pebbling number} \Pi(G) is the minimum k such that for every distribution…
