Title
Face 2-colorable embeddings with faces of specified lengths
Abstract
Suppose M = m(1), m(2),..., m(r) and N = n(1), n(2),..., n(t) are arbitrary lists of positive integers. In this article, we determine necessary and sufficient conditions on M and N for the existence of a simple graph G, which admits a face 2-colorable planar embedding in which the faces of one color have boundary lengths m(1), m(2),..., m(r) and the faces of the other color have boundary lengths n(1), n(2),..., n(t). Such a graph is said to have a planar (M; N)-biembedding. We also determine necessary and sufficient conditions on M and N for the existence of a simple graph G whose edge set can be partitioned into r cycles of lengths m(1), m(2),..., m(r) and also into t cycles of lengths n(1), n(2),..., nt. Such a graph is said to be (M; N)-decomposable. (C) 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
