Antiparallel strong traces (ASTs) are a type of walks in graphs which use every edge exactly twice. They correspond to 1-face embeddings in orientable surfaces and can be used to design selfassembling protein or DNA strands. Based on a novel canonical form invariant for ASTs, gap vector, we provide a linear-time isomorphism test for ASTs and thus, also for orientable 1-face embeddings of graphs. Using the canonical form, we develop an algorithm for enumerating all pairwise non-isomorphic 1-face embeddings of graphs. We compare our algorithm with an independent implementation of a recent algebraic approach (Bašić et al., MATCH Commun. Math. Comput. Chem. 78 (3), 2017) on large data sets. Our results yield the first large-scale enumeration of nonisomorphic embeddings and investigation of their properties.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
