Abstract

In this paper, we show the explicit formula of the recurrence relation for the Tower of Hanoi on the star graph with four vertices, where the perfect tower of disks on a leaf vertex is transferred to the central vertex. This gives the solution to the problem posed at the 17th International Conference on Fibonacci Numbers and Their Applications[11]. Then, the recurrence relation are generalized to include the ones for the original 4-peg Tower of Hanoi and the Star Tower of Hanoi of transferring the tower from a leaf to another.
