Observations on maps and δ-matroids
Using a Δ-matroid associated with a map, Anderson et al (J. Combin. Theory (B) 66 (1996) 232-246) showed that one can decide in polynomial time if a medial graph (a 4-regular, 2-face colourable embedded graph) in the sphere, projective plane or torus has two Euler tours that each never cross themselves and never use the same transition at any vertex. With some simple observations, we extend this to the Klein bottle and the sphere with 3 crosscaps and show that the argument does not work in any other...
