Triangle-Partitioning Edges of Planar Graphs, Toroidal Graphs and K-Planar Graphs

Authors: Jiawei Gao, Ton Kloks, Sheung-Hung Poon

We show that there is a linear-time algorithm to partition the edges of a planar graph into triangles. We show that the problem is also polynomial for toroidal graphs but NP-complete for k-planar graphs, where k is at least 8.
