An Explicit Solution to the Chessboard Pebbling Problem

Abstract

We consider the chessboard pebbling problem analyzed by Chung, Graham, Morrison and Odlyzko [3]. We study the number of reachable configurations $G(k)$ and a related double sequence $G(k,m)$. Exact expressions for these are derived, and we then consider various asymptotic limits.
