Pebbling on graphs is a two-player game which involves repeatedly moving a pebble from one vertex to another by removing another pebble from the first vertex. The pebbling number $\pi(G)$ is the least number of pebbles required so that,…

Graph pebbling is a game played on a connected graph G. A player purchases pebbles at a dollar a piece, and hands them to an adversary who distributes them among the vertices of G (called a configuration) and chooses a target vertex r. The…

Graph pebbling considers the problem of transforming configurations of discrete pebbles to certain target configurations on the vertices of a graph, using the so-called pebbling move. This paper provides counterexamples to a monotonicity…
