Any metric quadrangulation (made by segments of straight line) of a point set in the plane determines a 2-coloration of the set, such that edges of the quadrangulation can only join points with different colors. In this work we focus in 2-colorations and study whether they admit a quadrangulation or not, and whether, given two quadrangulations...

A Möbius triangulation is a triangulation on the Möbius band. A geometric realization of a map M on a surface $\Sigma$ is an embedding of $\Sigma$ into a Euclidean 3-space $\mathbb{R}^3$ such that each face of M is a flat polygon. In this paper, we shall prove that every 5-connected triangulation on the Möbius band has a geometric realization....

We show that any two outer-triangulations on the same closed surface can be transformed into each other by a sequence of diagonal flips, up to isotopy, if they have a sufficiently large and equal number of vertices.

A graph G is said to be grid locatable if it admits a representation such that vertices are mapped to grid points and edges to line segments that avoid grid points but the extremes. Additionally G is said to be properly embeddable in the grid if it is grid locatable and the segments representing edges do not cross each other. We study the area...
