Abstract

The total embedding distributions of a graph consists of the orientable embeddings and non-orientable embeddings and are known for only a few classes of graphs. The orientable genus distribution of Ringel ladders is determined in [E.H. Tesar, Genus distribution of Ringel ladders, Discrete Mathematics 216 (2000) 235–252] by E.H. Tesar. In this paper, using the overlap matrix, we obtain nonhomogeneous recurrence relation for rank distribution polynomial, which can be solved by the Chebyshev polynomials of the second kind. The explicit formula for the number of non-orientable embeddings of Ringel ladders is obtained. Also, the orientable genus distribution of Ringel ladders is re-derived.
