ENUMERATION OF ROOTED VERTEX NON-SEPARABLE PLANAR MAPS

In a rooted planar map, the rooted vertex is said to be non-separable if the vertex onthe boundary of the outer face as an induced graph is not a cut-vertex. In this paper, the author derives a functional equation satisfied by the enumeratingfuuction of rooted vertex non-separable planar maps dependent on the edge number and thenumber of the edges on the outer face boundary, finds a parametric expression of itssolution, and obtains an explicit formula for the function. Particularly, the number of rooted vertex non-separable maps only replying on theedge number and that of rooted vertex non-separable tree-like maps defined in [4] accordingto the two indices, the edge number and the number of the edges on the outer face boundary,or only one index, the edge number, are also determined.     

Une relation fonctionnelle nouvelle sur les cartes planaires pointées

A new functional relation, whose unique solution is the generating function of rooted planar maps, is shown. This new relation in conjunction with the well-known relation established by Tutte, enables the easy derivation of a system of parametric equations for the wanted generating function. As a consequence, we infer a closed formula counting the rooted planar maps as a function of their number of vertices and faces. The geometrical nature of the decomposition used in the derivation of this functional relation, leads to the definition of a natural notion of the inner map of a rooted planar map. Some questions related to this notion are treated.

A census of boundary cubic rooted planar maps

In this paper, boundary cubic rooted planar maps are investigated and exact enumerative formulae are given. First, an enumerative formula for boundary cubic inner-forest maps with the size (number of edges) as a parameter is derived. For the special case of boundary cubic inner-tree maps, a simple formula with two parameters is presented. Further, according to the duality, a corresponding result for outer-planar maps is obtained. Finally, some results for boundary cubic planar maps and general planar maps are obtained. Furthermore, two known Tutte's formulae are easily deduced in the paper.     

Counting unrooted maps on the plane

A planar map is a 2-cell embedding of a connected planar graph, loops and parallel edges allowed, on the sphere. A plane map is a planar map with a distinguished outside (“infinite”) face. An unrooted map is an equivalence class of maps under orientation-preserving homeomorphism, and a rooted map is a map with a distinguished oriented edge. Previously we obtained formulae for the number of unrooted planar n-edge maps of various classes, including all maps, non-separable maps, eulerian maps and loopless maps. In this article, using the same technique we obtain closed formulae for counting unrooted plane maps of all these classes and their duals. The corresponding formulae for rooted maps are known to be all sum-free; the formulae that we obtain for unrooted maps contain only a sum over the divisors of n. We count also unrooted two-vertex plane maps.     

Enumeration of multi-colored rooted maps

We present a study of n-colored rooted maps in orientable and locally orientable surfaces. As far as we know, no work on these maps has yet been published. We give a system of n functional equations satisfied by n-colored orientable rooted maps regardless of genus and with respect to edges and vertices. We exhibit the solution of this system as a vector where each component has a continued fraction form and we deduce a new equation generalizing the Dyck equation for rooted planar trees. Similar results are shown for n-colored rooted maps in locally orientable surfaces.     

Simplification of formulas for the number of maps on surfaces

Two combinatorial identities obtained by the author are used to simplify formulas for the number of general rooted cubic planar maps, for the number of g-essential maps on surfaces of small genus, and also for rooted Eulerian maps on the projective plane. Besides, an asymptotics for the number of maps with a large number of vertices is obtained.     

On the vertex partition equation of loopless Eulerian planar maps

The functional equation satisfied by the vertex partition function of rooted loopless Eulerian planar maps is provided. As applications, the enumerating equations for general and regular cases of this kind of maps are also discussed.This project is supported partially by the National Natural Science Foundation of China Grant 18971061.     

The number of rooted Eulerian planar maps

In this paper we provide a solution of the functional equation unsolved in the paper, by the second author, "On functional equations arising from map enumerations" that appeared in Discrete Math, 123: 93-109 (1993). It is also the number of combinatorial distinct rooted general eulerian planar maps with the valency of root-vertex, the number of non-root vertices and non-root faces of the maps as three parameters. In particular, a result in the paper, by the same author, "On the number of eulerian planar map...     

THE NUMBER OF ROOTED NEARLY CUBIC C-NETS

1. IntroductionW.T. Tutte's original papers[1--3) on the enumerative theory of rooted planar maps havebrought forth a series of papers on enumerating triangulations. The enumeration of generalrooted planar maps has then also been investigated and a number of elegant results havebeen obtained, although relatively fewer than that of triangulations. As the dual case oftriangulations, the enumerative theory of cubic maps has also been developed, though thereare a lot of problems waiting for solut…     

Enumeration of rooted planar halin maps

A Halin map is a kind of planar maps oriented by a tree. In this paper the rooted halin maps with the vertex partition as parameters are enumerated such that a famous result on rooted trees due to Harary. Prins, and Tutte is deduced as. a special ease. Further, by using Lagrangian inversion to obtain a number of summation free formulae dixectly, the various kinds of rooted Halin maps with up to three parameters have been counted.     

BISINGULAR MAPS ON SOME SURFACES

A map is bisingular if each edge is either a loop (This paper only considersplanar loop) or an isthmus (i.e., on the boundary of the same face). This paper studies thenumber of rooted bisingular maps on the sphere and the torus, and also presents formulaefor such maps with three parameters: the root-valency, the number of isthmus, and thenumber of planar loops.     

Enumeration on Nonseparable Planar Maps

This paper provides some functional equations satisfied by the generating functions for nonseparable rooted planar maps with the valency of root-vertex, the number of edges and the valency of root-faces of the maps as three parameters. But the solutions of these equations can only be obtained indirectly by considering some relations between nonseparable and general rooted planar maps. One of them is an answer to the open problem 6.1 in Liu (1983, Comb. Optim. CORR83-26, University of Waterloo).

Stack words, standard Young tableaux, permutations with forbidden subsequences and planar maps

Stack words stem from studies on stack-sortable permutations and represent classical combinatorial objects such as standard Young tableaux, permutations with forbidden sequences and planar maps. We extend existing enumerative results on stack words and we also obtain new results. In particular, we make a correspondence between nonseparable 3×n rectangular standard Young tableaux (or stack words where elements satisfy a ‘Towers of Hanoi’ condition) and nonseparable cubic rooted planar maps with 2n vertices enumerated by 2ⁿ(3n)!/((2n+1)!(n+1)!). Moreover, these tableaux without two consecutive integers in the same row are in bijection with nonseparable rooted planar maps with n+1 edges enumerated by 2(3n)!/((2n+1)!(n+1)!).     

Generating unlabeled connected cubic planar graphs uniformly at random

We present an expected polynomial time algorithm to generate an unlabeled connected cubic planar graph uniformly at random. We first consider rooted connected cubic planar graphs, i.e., we count connected cubic planar graphs up to isomorphisms that fix a certain directed edge. Based on decompositions along the connectivity structure, we derive recurrence formulas for the exact number of rooted cubic planar graphs. This leads to rooted 3‐connected cubic planar graphs, which have a unique embedding on the sphere. Special care has to be taken for rooted graphs that have a sense‐reversing automorphism. Therefore we introduce the concept of colored networks, which stand in bijective correspondence to rooted 3‐connected cubic planar graphs with given symmetries. Colored networks can again be decomposed along the connectivity structure. For rooted 3‐connected cubic planar graphs embedded in the plane, we switch to the dual and count rooted triangulations. Since all these numbers can be evaluated in polynomial time using dynamic programming, rooted connected cubic planar graphs can be generated uniformly at random in polynomial time by inverting the decomposition along the connectivity structure. To generate connected cubic planar graphs without a root uniformly at random, we apply rejection sampling and obtain an expected polynomial time algorithm. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
