摘要
In 2016, Hopkins, McConville, and Propp proved that labeled chip-firing on a line always leaves the chips in sorted order provided that the initial number of chips is even. We present a novel proof of this result. We then apply our methods to resolve a number of related conjectures concerning the confluence of labeled chip-firing systems. (c) 2021 Elsevier Inc.
