Chip-firing is a combinatorial game played on a graph in which we place and disperse chips on vertices until a stable state is reached. We study a chip-firing variant played on an infinite rooted directed $k$-ary tree, where we place…

Chip-firing is a combinatorial game on a graph, in which chips are placed and dispersed among its vertices until a stable configuration is achieved. We specifically study a chip-firing variant on an infinite, rooted, directed $k$-ary tree…

Chip-firing is a combinatorial game played on an undirected graph in which we place chips on vertices. We study chip-firing on an infinite binary tree in which we add a self-loop to the root to ensure each vertex has degree 3. A vertex can…

We study the stable configurations of the labeled chip-firing game on an infinitely subdivided $k$-star graph starting with $km$ chips on the center vertex. We prove a sorting property of this game and analyze special stable configurations…

Chip-firing on a directed graph is a game in which chips, a discrete commodity, are placed on the vertices of the graph and are transferred between vertices. In this paper, we study a chip-firing game on the Hasse diagram of the lattice of…

We explore labeled chip-firing on undirected $k$-ary trees, trees where every vertex has degree $k+1$. First, we extend known results for binary trees from Musiker and Nguyen, including the endgame and the locations of the smallest and…

We use an infinite $k$-ary tree with a self-loop at the root as our underlying graph. We consider a chip-firing process starting with $N$ chips at the root. We describe the stable configurations. We calculate the number of fires for each…

We investigate a variant of the chip-firing process on the infinite path graph: rather than treating the chips as indistinguishable, we label them with positive integers. To fire an unstable vertex, i.e. a vertex with more than one chip, we…

We introduce a natural variant of the parallel chip-firing game, called the diffusion game. Chips are initially assigned to vertices of a graph. At every step, all vertices simultaneously send one chip to each neighbour with fewer chips. As…

This article introduces a quantized chip-firing model with close connections to the theory of rational lattice paths and rational parking functions. Given a graph with a sink and positive integers a,b,c with gcd(a,b)=1, a set S of vertices…

We study labeled chip-firing on binary trees and some of its modifications. We prove a sorting property of terminal configurations of the process. We also analyze the endgame moves poset and prove that this poset is a modular lattice.

The parallel chip-firing game is a periodic automaton on graphs in which vertices "fire" chips to their neighbors. In 1989, Bitar conjectured that the period of a parallel chip-firing game with n vertices is at most n. Though this…

Graphical chip-firing is a discrete dynamical system where chips are placed on the vertices of a graph and exchanged via simple firing moves. Recent work has sought to generalize chip-firing on graphs to higher dimensions, wherein graphs…

We study a variant of the chip-firing game called the diffusion game. In the diffusion game, we begin with some integer labelling of the vertices of a graph, interpreted as a number of chips on each vertex, and then for each subsequent step…

We study a variant of the chip-firing game called \emph{diffusion}. In diffusion on a graph, each vertex of the graph is initially labelled with an integer interpreted as the number of chips at that vertex, and at each subsequent step, each…

The parallel chip-firing game is an automaton on graphs in which vertices "fire" chips to their neighbors when they have enough chips to do so. The game is always periodic, and we concern ourselves with the firing sequences of vertices. We…

Hereditary chip-firing models generalize the Abelian sandpile model and the cluster firing model to an exponential family of games induced by covers of the vertex set. This generalization retains some desirable properties, e.g.…

The Chip Firing Game (CFG) is a discrete dynamical model used in physics, computer science and economics. It is known that the set of configurations reachable from an initial configuration (this set is called the configuration space) can be…

Aval et al. proved that starting from a critical configuration of a chip- firing game on an undirected graph, one can never achieve a stable configuration by reverse firing any non-empty subsets of its vertices. In this paper, we generalize…

A finite graph with an assignment of non-negative integers to vertices gives chip-firing games. Chip-firing games determine languages (sets of words) called the record sets of legal games. Bj\"orner, Lov\'asz and Shor found several…
