Generating polyhedral quadrangulations of the projective plane. (English) Zbl 1433.05090

Summary: We determine the 26 families of irreducible polyhedral quadrangulations of the projective plane under three reductions called a face-contraction, a 4-cycle removal and a \(2_3\)-path shrink, which were first given by V. Batagelj [Discrete Math. 78, No. 1–2, 45–53 (1989; Zbl 0694.05028)]. Every polyhedral quadrangulation of the projective plane can be obtained from one of them by a sequence of the inverse operations of the reductions.
