The 2-Pebbling Property and a Conjecture of Graham's
نویسندگان
چکیده
The pebbling number of a graph G, f(G), is the least m such that, however m pebbles are placed on the vertices of G, we can move a pebble to any vertex by a sequence of moves, each move taking two pebbles o one vertex and placing one on an adjacent vertex. It is conjectured that for all graphs G and H , f(G H) f(G)f(H). Let Cm and Cn be cycles. We prove that f(Cm Cn) f(Cm)f(Cn) for all but a nite number of possible cases. We also prove that f(G T ) f(G)f(T ) when G has the 2-pebbling property and T is any tree.

Generalizations of Graham's pebbling conjecture
We investigate generalizations of pebbling numbers and of Graham’s pebbling conjecture that π(G × H) ≤ π(G)π(H), where π(G) is the pebbling number of the graph G. We develop new machinery to attack the conjecture, which is now twenty years old. We show that certain conjectures imply others that initially appear stronger. We also find counterexamples that show that Sjöstrand’s theorem on cover p...
متن کاملOpen Problems #21 Graph Pebbling
Tom Trotter of Arizona State has settled Gra-ham Brightwell's problem about fractional dimension posed in Open Problems #20. Recall that the fractional dimension dim (P) is the minimum total weight assigned to the linear extensions of P so that each ordered incomparable pair is covered with total weight at least 1. Brightwell asked whether there exists a function f such that every n-element pos...
متن کاملOptimal pebbling in products of graphs
We prove a generalization of Graham’s Conjecture for optimal pebbling with arbitrary sets of target distributions. We provide bounds on optimal pebbling numbers of products of complete graphs and explicitly find optimal t-pebbling numbers for specific such products. We obtain bounds on optimal pebbling numbers of powers of the cycle C5. Finally, we present explicit distributions which provide a...
متن کاملThe 2 t - Pebbling Property on the Jahangir Graph
The t-pebbling number, ft(G), of a connected graph G, is the smallest positive integer such that from every placement of ft(G) pebbles, t pebbles can be moved to any specified target vertex by a sequence of pebbling moves, each move taking two pebbles off a vertex and placing one on an adjacent vertex. A graph G satisfies the 2t-pebbling property if 2t pebbles can be moved to a specified vertex...
متن کاملPebbling in diameter two graphs and products of paths
Results regarding the pebbling number of various graphs are presented. We say a graph is of Class 0 if its pebbling number equals the number of its vertices. For diameter d we conjecture that every graph of su cient connectivity is of Class 0. We verify the conjecture for d = 2 by characterizing those diameter two graphs of Class 0, extending results of Pachter, Snevily and Voxman. In fact we u...
