文摘In this paper, we show that for a locally LEW-embedded 3-connected graph G in orientable surface, the following results hold: 1) Each of such embeddings is minimum genus embedding; 2) The facial cycles are precisely the induced nonseparating cycles which implies the uniqueness of such embeddings; 3) Every overlap graph O(G, C) is a bipartite graph and G has only one C-bridge H such that C U H is nonplanar provided C is a contractible cycle shorter than every noncontractible cycle containing an edge of C. This extends the results of C Thomassen's work on LEW-embedded graphs.
