Chromatic sums of nonseparable near-triangulations on the projective plane

Abstract

In this paper, we study the chromatic sum functions of rooted nonseparable near-triangulations on the sphere and the projective plane. The chromatic sum function equations of such maps are obtained. From the chromatic sum equations of such maps, the enumerating function equations of such maps are derived. Applying chromatic sum theory, the enumerating problem of different sorts maps can be studied, and a new method of enumeration can be obtained. Moreover, an asymptotic evaluation and some explicit expression of enumerating functions are also derived.
