In this paper, it will be shown that any two bipartite quadrangulations of any closed surface are transformed into each other by two kinds of transformations, called the diagonal slide and the diagonal rotation, up to homeomorphism, if they have the same and sufficiently large number of vertices.

In this paper, we shall show that any two quadrangulations on any closed surface can be transformed into each other by diagonal slides and diagonal rotations if they have the same and sufficiently large number of vertices and if the homological properties of both quadrangulations coincide.
It has been conjectured that any 5-connected graph embedded in a surface with sufficiently large face-width is hamiltonian. This conjecture was verified by Yu for the triangulation case, but it is still open in general. The conjecture is not true for 4-connected graphs. In this article, we shall stu
The paper studies the computational complexity and efficient algorithms for the twistαrotation transformations of binary trees, which is equivalent to the transformation of arithmetic expressions over an associative and commutative binary Ε½ . operation. The main results are 1 a full binary tree with
A (k, 1)-coloring of a graph is a vertex-coloring with k colors such that each vertex is permitted at most 1 neighbor of the same color. We show that every planar graph has at least c n distinct (4, 1)-colorings, where c is constant and β 1.466 satisfies 3 = 2 +1. On the other hand for any >0, we gi
A graph is (rn, k)-colorable if its vertices can be colored with rn colors in such a way that each vertex is adjacent to at most k vertices of the same color as itself. In a recent paper Cowen. Cowen, and Woodall proved that, for each compact surface S, there exists an integer k = k(S) such that eve
