Regular Map (graph Theory) - Examples

Examples

  • The great dodecahedron is a regular map with pentagonal faces on the orientable surface of genus 4.
  • The hemicube is a regular map of type {4,3}
  • The hemi-dodecahedron is a regular map produced by pentagonal embedding of the Petersen graph in the projective plane.
  • The p-hosohedron is a regular map of type {2, p}. Note that the hosohedron is non-polyhedral in the sense that it is not an abstract polytope. In particular, it doesn't satisfy the diamond property.
  • The Dyck map is a regular map of 12 octagons on a genus-3 surface. Its underlying graph, the Dyck graph, can also form a regular map of 16 hexagons on a torus.

The following is the complete determination of simple reflexible maps of positive Euler characteristic: the sphere and the projective plane (Coxeter 80).

Famous quotes containing the word examples:

    “No rules exist, and examples are simply life-savers answering the appeals of rules making vain attempts to exist.”
    —André Breton (1896–1966)

    “It is hardly to be believed how spiritual reflections when mixed with a little physics can hold people’s attention and give them a livelier idea of God than do the often ill-applied examples of his wrath.”
    —G.C. (Georg Christoph)

    “There are many examples of women that have excelled in learning, and even in war, but this is no reason we should bring ‘em all up to Latin and Greek or else military discipline, instead of needle-work and housewifry.”
    —Bernard Mandeville (1670–1733)
