✦ Synopsis
We prove that each polyhedral triangular face free map G on a compact 2-dimensional manifold M with Euler characteristic /(M) contains a k-path, i.e., a path on k vertices, such that each vertex of this path has, in G, degree at most (5Â2) k if M is a sphere S 0 and at most (kÂ2)w(5+-49&24/(M))Â2x if M{S 0 or does not contain any k-path. We show that for even k this bound is best possible. Moreover, we show that for any graph other than a path no similar estimation exists.

A graph is k-triangular if each edge is in at least k triangles. Triangular is a synonym for l-triangular. It is shown that the line graph of a triangular graph of order at least 4 is panconnected if and only if it is 3-connected. Furthermore, the line graph of a k-triangular graph is k-harniltonian
We study the relation between rooted 3-connected triangular maps and rooted 2-connected triangular maps on the projective plane. We then use this relation to derive a simple parametric expression for the generating function of rooted 3-connected triangular maps on the projective plane. We believe th
