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…

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…

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…

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,…

A $k$-dispersed labelling of a graph $G$ on $n$ vertices is a labelling of the vertices of $G$ by the integers $1, \dots , n$ such that $d(i,i+1) \geq k$ for $1 \leq i \leq n-1$. $DL(G)$ denotes the maximum value of $k$ such that $G$ has a…

Suppose that pebbles are distributed on the vertices of a graph G. A pebbling step along an edge uv removes two pebbles from u and places one pebble on v. We introduce two new graph parameters: stack(G): the least integer t such that every…

A pebbling move refers to the act of removing two pebbles from one vertex and placing one pebble on an adjacent vertex. The goal of graph pebbling is: Given an initial distribution of pebbles, use pebbling moves to reach a specified goal…

In graph pegging, we view each vertex of a graph as a hole into which a peg can be placed, with checker-like ``pegging moves'' allowed. Motivated by well-studied questions in graph pebbling, we introduce two pegging quantities. The pegging…

Given a distribution of pebbles to the vertices of a graph, a pebbling move removes two pebbles from a single vertex and places a single pebble on an adjacent vertex. The pebbling number $\pi(G)$ is the smallest number such that, for any…

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…

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…

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

Let $G$ be a connected graph with vertex set $V(G)$ and edge set $E(G)$. Pebbling shift is a deletion of two pebbles from a vertex and a placement of one pebble at a neighbouring vertex. The vertex cover set, $D_{vc}$ for graph $G$ is the…
