Confluence in labeled chip-firing
نویسندگان
چکیده
In 2016, Hopkins, McConville, and Propp proved that labeled chip-firing on a line always leaves the chips in sorted order provided initial number of is even. We present novel proof this result. then apply our methods to resolve related conjectures concerning confluence systems.

18.204: Chip Firing Games
Chip firing is a one-player game where piles start with an initial number of chips and any pile with at least two chips can send one chip to the piles on either side of it. When all of the piles have no more than a single chip, the game ends. In this paper we review fundamental theorems related to this game on a two dimensional number line, including the fact that termination and final configur...
متن کاملSorting via Chip-Firing
We investigate a variant of the chip-firing process on the infinite path graph Z: 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 choose any two chips at that vertex and move the lesser-labeled chip to the left and the greater-labeled chip to the right. This labeled version of the ch...
متن کاملFiring Patterns in the Parallel Chip-Firing Game
The parallel chip-firing game is an automaton on graphs in which vertices “fire” chips to their neighbors. This simple model, analogous to sandpiles forming and collapsing, contains much emergent complexity and has connections to different areas of mathematics including self-organized criticality and the study of the sandpile group. In this work, we study firing sequences, which describe each v...
متن کاملParallel Chip Firing on Digraphs
Given some multidigraph , a state is any dist ribut ion of some chips on its vert ices. We transform t his initial st ate step by step. Every vert ex checks whet her it is able to send one chip through every outgoing arc. If it can, it does; otherwise it does not send any chip. All vert ices check and send in parallel. Finally, at every vert ex all incoming chips are added to the remaining chip...
متن کاملChip-Firing, Antimatroids, and Polyhedra
Starting from the chip-firing game of Björner and Lovász we consider a generalization to vector addition systems that still admit algebraic structures as sandpile group or sandpile monoid. Every such vector addition language yields an antimatroid. We show that conversely every antimatroid can be represented this way. The inclusion order on the feasible sets of an antimatroid is an upper locally...
