In this paper we study the minimum number of reversals needed to transform a unicellular fatgraph into a tree. We consider reversals acting on boundary components, having the natural interpretation as gluing, slicing or half-flipping of vertices. Our main result is an expression for the minimum number of reversals needed to transform a unicellular fatgraph to a plane tree. The expression involves the Euler genus of the fatgraph and an additional parameter, which counts the number of certain orientable blocks in the decomposition of the fatgraph. In the process we derive a constructive proof of how to decompose non-orientable, irreducible, unicellular fatgraphs into smaller fatgraphs of the same type or trivial fatgraphs, consisting of a single ribbon. We furthermore provide a detailed analysis how reversals affect the component-structure of the underlying fatgraphs. Our results generalize the Hannenhalli-Pevzner formula for the reversal distance of signed permutations.
The modular decomposition of a symmetric map $deltacolon Xtimes X to Upsilon$ (or, equivalently, a set of symmetric binary relations, a 2-structure, or an edge-colored undirected graph) is a natural construction to capture key features of $delta$ in
The $ell$-deck of a graph $G$ is the multiset of all induced subgraphs of $G$ on $ell$ vertices. In 1976, Giles proved that any tree on $ngeq 6$ vertices can be reconstructed from its $ell$-deck for $ell geq n-2$. Our main theorem states that it is e
In this paper, we introduce the notion of the quadratic graph, that is a graph whose eigenvalues are integral or quadratic algebraic integral, and determine nine infinite families of quadratic starlike trees, which are just all the quadratic starlike
We present a bijection between some quadrangular dissections of an hexagon and unrooted binary trees, with interesting consequences for enumeration, mesh compression and graph sampling. Our bijection yields an efficient uniform random sampler for 3-c
In this short note, we first present a simple bijection between binary trees and colored ternary trees and then derive a new identity related to generalized Catalan numbers.
