Abstract

Ear decomposition of a graph has been extensively studied in relation to graph connectivity. In this paper, a connection of ear decomposition to graph embeddings is exhibited. It is shown that constructing a maximum-paired ear decomposition of a graph and constructing a maximum-genus embedding of the graph are polynomial-time equivalent. Applications of this connection are discussed.
