Abstract

A pebbling move on a connected graph G is taking two pebbles off of one vertex and placing one of them on an adjacent vertex. The domination cover pebbling number ${\psi}(G)$ is the minimum number of pebbles required so that any initial configuration of pebbles can be transformed by a sequence of pebbling moves so that the set of vertices that contain pebbles forms a domination set of G. We determine the domination cover pebbling number for fans, fuses, and pseudo-star.
