Abstract:

For any closed compact 2-manifold, there is a nite number of minimal (irreducible) triangulation. Thus, we may obtain any triangulation of a surface by splitting vertices of a minimal triangulation of the surface. The number of vertices in these minimal triangulations is linear in the genus of the underlying surface. 1
