A graph pebbling is a network optimization model for the transmission of consumable resources. A pebbling move on a connected graph [Formula: see text] is the process of removing two pebbles from a vertex and placing one of them on an adjacent vertex after configuration of a fixed number of pebbles on the vertex set of [Formula: see text]. The pebbling number of [Formula: see text], denoted by [Formula: see text], is defined to be the least number of pebbles to guarantee that for any configuration of pebbles on [Formula: see text] and arbitrary vertex [Formula: see text], there is a sequence of pebbling movement that places at least one pebble on [Formula: see text]. For connected graphs [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text], Graham’s conjecture asserted that [Formula: see text]. In this paper, we show that such conjecture holds when [Formula: see text] is a complete bipartite graph with sufficiently large order in terms of [Formula: see text] and the order of [Formula: see text].

In graph pebbling games, one considers a distribution of pebbles on the vertices of a graph, and a pebbling move consists of taking two pebbles off one vertex and placing one on an adjacent vertex. The $t$-pebbling number $\pi_t(G)$ of a graph $G$ is the smallest $m$ such that for every initial distribution of $m$ pebbles on $V(G)$ and every target vertex $x$ there exists a sequence of pebbling moves leading to a distibution with at least $t$ pebbles at $x$. Answering a question of Sieben, we show that for every graph $G$, $\pi_t(G)$ is eventually linear in $t$; that is, there are numbers $a,b,t_0$ such that $\pi_t(G)=at+b$ for all $t\ge t_0$. Our result is also valid for weighted graphs, where every edge $e=\{u,v\}$ has some integer weight $\omega(e)\ge 2$, and a pebbling move from $u$ to $v$ removes $\omega(e)$ pebbles at $u$ and adds one pebble to $v$.
