This paper considers *-graphs in which all vertices have degree 4 or 6, and studies the question of calculating the genus of orientable 2-surfaces into which such graphs may be embedded. A *-graph is a graph endowed with a formal adjacency…

Gross, Mansour and Tucker introduced the partial-twuality polynomial of a ribbon graph. Chumutov and Vignes-Tourneret posed a problem: it would be interesting to know whether the partial duality polynomial and the related conjectures would…

A vertex partition in which every part induces a 2-connected subgraph is called a 2-proper partition. This concept was introduced by Ferrara et al. in 2013, and Borozan et al. gave the best possible minimum degree condition for the…

We investigate the problem of constructing planar drawings with few bends for two related problems, the partially embedded graph problem---to extend a straight-line planar drawing of a subgraph to a planar drawing of the whole graph---and…

In 2009, Chmutov introduced the partial-duality for a ribbon graph $G$. Recently, Gross, Mansour and Tucker enumerated all possible partial-duals of $G$ by genus and introduced the partial-dual genus polynomial of a ribbon graph $G.$ This…

We describe a construction for embeddings of complete graphs where the dual has a cutvertex and the genus is close to the minimum genus of the primal graph. When the number of vertices is congruent to 5 modulo 12, we further guarantee that…

Graphical models have proven to be powerful tools for representing high-dimensional systems of random variables. One example of such a model is the undirected graph, in which lack of an edge represents conditional independence between two…

Let $G$ be a graph embedded on a closed surface. We call $G$ a \emph{polyhedral embedding} if all facial walks are cycles, and any two of them are either disjoint or intersect in a single vertex or a single edge. In this paper, we present a…

It is well known that a plane graph is Eulerian if and only if its geometric dual is bipartite. We extend this result to partial duals of plane graphs. We then characterize all bipartite partial duals of a plane graph in terms of oriented…

A partial cube is a graph having an isometric embedding in a hypercube. Partial cubes are characterized by a natural equivalence relation on the edges, whose classes are called zones. The number of zones determines the minimal dimension of…

A 2-cell embedding of a graph $G$ into a closed (orientable or nonorientable) surface is called regular if its automorphism group acts regularly on the flags - mutually incident vertex-edge-face triples. In this paper, we classify the…

The study of graph drawings on 2-surfaces is an active area of mathematical research. Our main results are criteria for integer and modulo 2 embeddability of graphs to surfaces.

The Cycle double cover (CDC) conjecture states that for every bridgeless graph $G$, there exists a family $\mathcal{F}$ of cycles such that each edge of the graph is contained in exactly two members of $\mathcal{F}$. Given an embedding of a…

The concept of partial duality in hypermaps was introduced by Chmutov and Vignes-Tourneret, and Smith independently. This notion serves as a generalization of the concept of partial duality found in maps. In this paper, we first present an…

This work studies certain aspects of graphs embedded on surfaces. Initially, a colored graph model for a map of a graph on a surface is developed. Then, a concept analogous to (and extending) planar graph is introduced in the same spirit as…

Random 2-cell embeddings of a given graph $G$ are obtained by choosing a random local rotation around every vertex. We analyze the expected number of faces, $\mathbb{E}[F_G]$, of such an embedding which is equivalent to studying its average…

A rectangular dual of a plane graph $G$ is a contact representation of $G$ by interior-disjoint rectangles such that (i) no four rectangles share a point, and (ii) the union of all rectangles is a rectangle. In this paper, we study…

Barnette and Edelson have shown that there are finitely many minimal triangulations of a connected compact 2-manifold M. Similar finiteness results are obtained for cellular partial triangulations that satisfy various girth inequality…

Well-graded families, extremal systems and maximum systems (the last two in the sense of VC-theory and Sauer-Shelah lemma on VC-dimension) are three important classes of set systems. This paper aims to study the notion of duality in the…

For a graph embedded into a surface, we relate many combinatorial parameters of the cycle matroid of the graph and the bond matroid of the dual graph with the topological parameters of the embedding. This will give an expression of the…
