A degree-regular triangulation is one in which each vertex has identical degree. Our main result is that any such triangulation of a (possibly non-compact) surface $S$ is geometric, that is, it is combinatorially equivalent to a geodesic…
We show that if a disc triangulation has all internal vertex degrees at least 6, then the full triangulation may be determined from the pairwise graph distance between boundary vertices. A similar result holds for quadrangulations with all…
A simple graph is called triangular if every edge of it belongs to a triangle. We conjecture that any graphical degree sequence all terms of which are greater than or equal to 4 has a triangular realisation, and establish this conjecture…
We study the set of image tuples arising from fixed cameras observing varying planar 3-dimensional point configurations. We derive a formula for the number of complex critical points of the triangulation problem, which seeks to reconstruct…
Let $G$ be a simple graph and $v$ be a vertex of $G$. The triangle-degree of $v$ in $G$ is the number of triangles that contain $v$. While every graph has at least two vertices with the same degree, there are graphs in which every vertex…
The cross-ratio degree problem counts configurations of n points on P^1 with n-3 prescribed cross-ratios. Cross-ratio degrees arise in many corners of combinatorics and geometry, but their structure is not well-understood in general.…
We compute the number of triangulations of a convex $k$-gon each of whose sides is subdivided by $r-1$ points. We find explicit formulas and generating functions, and we determine the asymptotic behaviour of these numbers as $k$ and/or $r$…
We prove that it is $\#\mathsf{P}$-complete to count the triangulations of a (non-simple) polygon.
We give upper and lower bounds on the number of graphs of fixed degree which have a positive density of triangles. In particular, we show that there are very few such graphs, when compared to the number of graphs without this restriction.…
We solve three enumerative problems concerning families of planar maps. More precisely, we establish algebraic equations for the generating function of non-separable triangulations in which all vertices have degree at least d, for a certain…
We show that a point set of cardinality $n$ in the plane cannot be the vertex set of more than $59^n O(n^{-6})$ straight-edge triangulations of its convex hull. This improves the previous upper bound of $276.75^n$.
The triangle-degree of a vertex v of a simple graph G is the number of triangles in G that contain v. A simple graph is triangle-distinct if all its vertices have distinct triangle-degrees. Berikkyzy et al. [Discrete Math. 347 (2024)…
Plane triangulations with all vertices of degree $3$ or $6$ are enumerated. A plane triangulation is said to be akempic if it has a $4$-colouring such that no two adjacent triangles have the same three colours and this colouring is not…
The objects of study are triangulations of the dilated standard triangle in the plane. Motivated by work on T-curves (Geiselmann et al., 2026), the focus lies on unimodular triangulations with a fixed symmetry axis. Lower and upper bounds…
Canonical orderings of planar graphs have frequently been used in graph drawing and other graph algorithms. In this paper we introduce the notion of an $(r,s)$-canonical order, which unifies many of the existing variants of canonical…
In a previous article the authors determined the best-known upper bound for the cardinality of the image set for several classes of functions, including planar functions. Here, we show that the upper bound cannot be tight for planar…
We consider the problem of computing a triangulation of the real projective plane P2, given a finite point set S={p1, p2,..., pn} as input. We prove that a triangulation of P2 always exists if at least six points in S are in general…
Delaunay triangulations of a point set in the Euclidean plane are ubiquitous in a number of computational sciences, including computational geometry. Delaunay triangulations are not well defined as soon as 4 or more points are concyclic but…
We describe an efficient algorithm to compute a pseudotriangulation of a finite planar family of pairwise disjoint convex bodies presented by its chirotope. The design of the algorithm relies on a deepening of the theory of visibility…
After defining convex near-polygons, a formula enumerating the number of triangulations of such configurations is derived in terms of edge-polynomials. The paper describes also a transfer-matrix approach for computing quantities related to…
