## Abstract In this paper, we shall show that an irreducible triangulation of a closed surface __F__^2^ has at most __cg__ vertices, where __g__ stands for a genus of __F__^2^ and __c__ a constant. Β© 1995, John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

In this note we show that, for any surface 7 and any k, there are at most finitely many triangulations of 7 such that each edge is in a noncontractible cycle of length k and is in no shorter noncontractible cycle. Such a triangulation is k-irreducible. This is equivalent to the statement that for an
## Abstract Let __G__ be a graph and let __S__β__V__(__G__). We say that __S__ is __dominating__ in __G__ if each vertex of __G__ is in __S__ or adjacent to a vertex in __S__. We show that every triangulation on the torus and the Klein bottle with __n__ vertices has a dominating set of cardinality
It will be shown that any two triangulations of a closed surface can be transformed into each other by flipping diagonals in quadrilaterals if they have a sufficiently large and equal number of vertices.
