چکیده

Any metric quadrangulation (made by segments of straight line) of a point set in the plane determines a 2-coloration of the set, such that edges of the quadrangulation can only join points with different colors. In this work we focus in 2-colorations and study whether they admit a quadrangulation or not, and whether, given two quadrangulations of the same 2-coloration, it is possible to carry one into the other using some local operations, called diagonal slides and diagonal rotation. Although the answer is negative in general, we can show a very wide family of 2-colorations, called onions 2-coloration, that are quadrangulable and which graph of quadrangulations is always connected.

A binary labeling for plane Laman graphs and quadrangulations

We present binary labelings for the angles of quadrangulations and plane Laman graphs, which are in analogy with Schnyder labelings for triangulations [W. Schnyder, Proc. 1st ACM-SIAM Symposium on Discrete Algorithms, 1990] and imply a special tree decomposition for quadrangulations. In particular, we show how to embed quadrangulations on a 2-book, so that each page contains a non-crossing alte...

Matching extension in toroidal quadrangulations II: the 3-extendable case

A graph G containing a perfect matching is said to be m-extendable if m ≤ (|V (G)| − 2)/2 and for every matching M with |M | = m, there is a perfect matching F in G such that M ⊆ F . In a previous paper, four of the present five authors characterized those quadrangulations of the torus which are 2-extendable. In the present work a characterization of those which are 3-extendable is obtained. Si...

Realizing the Chromatic Numbers and Orders of Spinal Quadrangulations of Surfaces

A method is suggested for construction of quadrangulations of the closed orientable surface with given genus g and either (1) with given chromatic number or (2) with given order allowed by the genus g. In particular, N. Hartsfield and G. Ringel’s results [J. Comb. Theory, Ser. B 46 (1989), 84-95] are generalized by way of generating minimal quadrangulations of infinitely many other genera.

Irreducible Quadrangulations of the Klein Bottle

In this paper, we shall determine the complete list of irreducible quadrangulations of the Klein bottle. By this result, we can easily list all the minorminimal 2-representative graphs on the Klein bottle. Moreover, we shall show that any two bipartite quadrangulations of the Klein bottle with at least 10 vertices are transformed into each other by a sequence of diagonal slides and a sequence o...

On symmetric quadrangulations

This note gathers observations on symmetric quadrangulations, with enumerative consequences. In the rst part a new way of enumerating rooted simple quadrangulations is presented, based on two di erent quotient operations of symmetric simple quadrangulations. In the second part, based on results of Bouttier, Di Francesco and Guitter and on quotient and substitution operations, the series of thre...
