Chip-Firing and Fractional Bases

Abstract

We study a particular chip-firing process on an infinite path graph. At any time when there are at least a+b chips at a vertex, a chips fire to the left and b chips fire to the right. We describe the final state of this process when we start with n chips at the origin.
