New Wine into Old Wineskins: A Survey of Some Pebbling Classics with Supplemental Results
Jakob Nordstr · 2015
Pebble games were extensively studied in the 1970s and 1980s in a number of different contexts. The last decade has seen renewed interest in pebbling in the field of proof complexity. This is a survey of some classical theorems in pebbling, as well as a couple of new ones, with a focus on results that have proven relevant in proof complexity applications. THIS IS A MANUSCRIPT IN PREPARATION. See Section 1.4 on page 6 for a report on the status of the different sections of the paper.
