Abstract

A polyhedral map is called \p, q\-equivelar if each face has p edges and each vertex belongs to q faces. In 1983, it was shown that there exist infinitely many geometrically realizable \p, q\-equivelar polyhedral maps if q > p = 4, p > q = 4 or q - 3 > p = 3. It was shown in 2001 that there exist infinitely many \4, 4\- and \3, 6\-equivelar polyhedral maps. In 1990, it was shown that \5, 5\- and \6, 6\-equivelar polyhedral maps exist. In this note, examples are constructed, to show that infinitely many self dual \k, k\-equivelar polyhedral maps exist for each k ≥ 5. Also vertex-minimal non-singular \p, p\-pattern are constructed for all odd primes p.
