Playing with Triangulations
نویسندگان
چکیده
We analyze several perfect-information combinatorial games played on planar triangulations. We introduce three broad categories of such games: constructing, transforming, and marking triangulations. In various situations, we develop polynomial-time algorithms to determine who wins a given game under optimal play, and to find a winning strategy. Along the way, we show connections to existing combinatorial games such as Kayles.

Layered - Triangulations of 3 – Manifolds
A family of one-vertex triangulations of the genus-g-handlebody, called layered-triangulations, is defined. These triangulations induce a one-vertex triangulation on the boundary of the handlebody, a genus g surface. Conversely, any one-vertex triangulation of a genus g surface can be placed on the boundary of the genus-g-handlebody in infinitely many distinct ways; it is shown that any of thes...
متن کاملCounting triangulations and pseudo-triangulations of wheels
Motivated by several open questions on triangulations and pseudotriangulations, we give closed form expressions for the number of triangulations and the number of minimum pseudo-triangulations of n points in wheel configurations, that is, with n − 1 in convex position. Although the numbers of triangulations and pseudotriangulations vary depending on the placement of the interior point, their di...
متن کاملGenerating All Triangulations of Plane Graphs
In this paper, we deal with the problem of generating all triangulations of plane graphs. We give an algorithm for generating all triangulations of a triconnected plane graph G of n vertices. Our algorithm establishes a tree structure among the triangulations of G, called the “tree of triangulations,” and generates each triangulation of G in O(1) time. The algorithm uses O(n) space and generate...
متن کاملNew bijective links on planar maps via orientations
This article presents new bijections on planar maps. At first a bijection is established between bipolar orientations on planar maps and specific “transversal structures” on triangulations of the 4-gon with no separating 3-cycle, which are called irreducible triangulations. This bijection specializes to a bijection between rooted non-separable maps and rooted irreducible triangulations. This yi...
متن کاملGenerating Irreducible Triangulations of Surfaces
Starting with the irreducible triangulations of a fixed surface and splitting vertices, all the triangulations of the surface up to a given number of vertices can be generated. The irreducible triangulations have previously been determined for the surfaces S0, S1, N1,and N2. An algorithm is presented for generating the irreducible triangulations of a fixed surface using triangulations of other ...
