Given a distribution of pebbles on the vertices of a connected graph G, a pebbling move on G consists of taking two pebbles off one vertex and placing one on an adjacent vertex. The pebbling number f(G) is the smallest number m such that for every distribution of m pebbles and every vertex v, a pebble can be moved to v. A graph G is said to have the 2-pebbling property if for any distribution with more than 2f(G)-q pebbles, where q is the number of vertices with at least one pebble, it is possible, using pebbling moves, to get two pebbles to any vertex. Snevily conjectured that G(s, t) has the 2- pebbling property, where G(s, t) is a bipartite graph with partite sets of size s and t (s ≥ t). Similarly, the l-pebbling number fl(G) is the smallest number m such that for every distribution of m pebbles and every vertex v,l pebbles can be moved to v. Herscovici et al. conjectured that fl(G) ≤ 1.5n + 8l-6 for the graph G with diameter 3, where n = |V(G)|. In this paper, we prove that if s ≥ 15 and G(s, t) has minimum degree at least [(s+1)/2], then f(G(s, t)) = s + t, G(s, t) has the 2-pebbling property and fl(G(s, t)) ≤ s + t + 8(l-1). In other words, we extend a result due to Czygrinow and Hurlbert, and show that the above Snevily conjecture and Herscovici et al. conjecture are true for G(s, t) with s ≥ 15 and minimum degree at least [(s+1)/2].
