This note adds one diminimal map on the torus to the published set of 55. It also raises to 15 the number of vertices for which all diminimal maps on the torus are known.
We describe procedures for generating all 2-cell embedded simple graphs with up to a fixed number of vertices on a given surface. We also modify these procedures to generate closed 2-cell embeddings and polyhedral embeddings. We give…
If the face-cycles at all the vertices in a map on a surface are of same type then the map is called semi-equivelar. There are eleven types of Archimedean tilings on the plane. All the Archimedean tilings are semi-equivelar maps. If a map…
We give explicit realizations with small integer coordinates for all triangulated tori with up to 12 vertices. In particular, we provide coordinate-minimal realizations in general position for all triangulations of the torus with 7, 8, 9,…
The work that consists of two parts is devoted to the problem of enumerating unrooted $r$-regular maps on the torus up to all its symmetries. We begin with enumerating near-$r$-regular rooted maps on the torus, projective plane and the…
In this article we present theoretical and computational results on the existence of polyhedral embeddings of graphs. The emphasis is on cubic graphs. We also describe an efficient algorithm to compute all polyhedral embeddings of a given…
A paper torus is an embedded polyhedral torus that is isometric to a flat torus in the intrinsic sense. We prove that there does not exist a paper torus with $7$ vertices, and that there does exist a paper torus with $8$ vertices. This…
We present enumerations of a class of toroidal graphs which give rise to semi-equivelar maps. There are eleven different types of semi-equivelar maps on the torus. These are of the types $\{3^{6}\}$, $\{4^{4}\}$, $\{6^{3}\}$, $\{3^{3},…
We present the first algorithm to morph graphs on the torus. Given two isotopic essentially 3-connected embeddings of the same graph on the Euclidean flat torus, where the edges in both drawings are geodesics, our algorithm computes a…
A 2-uniform tiling is an edge-to-edge tiling by regular polygons having $2$ distinct transitivity classes of vertices. There are 20 distinct 2-uniform tilings (these are of $14$ different types) on the plane, and since the plane is the…
Semi-Equivelar maps are generalizations of Archimedean solids to the surfaces other than 2-sphere. There are eight semi-equivelar maps of types $\{3^{3},4^{2}\}$, $\{3^{2},4,3,4\}$, $\{6,3,6,3\}$, $\{3^{4},6\}$, $\{4,8^{2}\}$,…
This paper deals with triangulations of the 2-torus with the vertex labeled general octahedral graph $O_4$ which is isomorphic to the complete four-partite graph $K_{2,2,2,2}$; it is known that there exist precisely twelve such…
Given an ordered sequence of $N$-choose-2 integers, we give necessary and sufficient conditions to have an ordered collection of $N$ simple closed curves on a torus such that the algebraic pairwise intersections of those curves are the…
The degree of a map between orientable manifolds is a fundamental concept in topology, offering deep insights into the structure of the manifolds and the nature of the corresponding maps. This concept has been extensively studied,…
We consider the problem of partitioning a two-dimensional flat torus $T^2$ into $m$ sets in order to minimize the maximal diameter of a part. For $m \leqslant 25$ we give numerical estimates for the maximal diameter $d_m(T^2)$ at which the…
A vertex-transitive map $X$ is a map on a closed surface on which the automorphism group ${\rm Aut}(X)$ acts transitively on the set of vertices. If the face-cycles at all the vertices in a map are of same type then the map is said to be a…
The second part of the paper is devoted to enumeration of $r$-regular toroidal maps up to all homeomorphisms of the torus (unsensed maps). We describe in detail the periodic orientation reversing homeomorphisms of the torus which turn out…
A vertex $v$ in a map $M$ has the face-sequence $(p_1 ^{n_1}. \ldots. p_k^{n_k})$, if there are $n_i$ numbers of $p_i$-gons incident at $v$ in the given cyclic order, for $1 \leq i \leq k$. A map $M$ is called a semi-equivelar map if each…
We give coordinate-minimal geometric realizations in general position of all 865 vertex-minimal triangulations of the orientable surface of genus 2 in the 4x4x4-cube.
Given vertex valencies admissible for a self-dual polyhedral graph, we describe an algorithm to explicitly construct such a polyhedron. Inputting in the algorithm permutations of the degree sequence can give rise to non-isomorphic graphs.…
