Abstract

We describe algorithms for the exhaustive enumeration and classification of simple arrangements of nn pseudolines (nn odd) maximizing the number of triangular faces. The depth-first search enumerates reduced words for the longest permutation w0w_0 by branching only on the even-indexed generators, using pruning constraints imposed by the geometry of optimal arrangements. The approach handles both perfect arrangements with a regular triangular pattern and unavoidable deviations from it for n1(mod6)n \equiv 1 \pmod 6. The output is classified into a hierarchy of equivalence classes: by commutation, by Euclidean transformations, and by projective transformations. For each projective class we recover its full symmetry group GSn+1G \subseteq S_{n+1} together with the orbit-stabilizer profile of its Euclidean subclasses. Completeness of the search and classification is proved: every wiring diagram is reached. We report full enumerations; e.g. for n=27n=27, 85,562,064 wiring diagrams partitioned into 56,646 projective classes. For larger nn (up to n=93n=93), where exhaustive enumeration is out of reach, we report partial (first-hit) results.
