conjecture that any two triangulations of a given polygon may be transformed into one another by a signable sequence of diagonal flips. Finally, we show that this conjecture, if true, would imply the four color theorem.
We introduce a signed version of the diagonal flip operation. We then formulate the conjecture that any two triangulations of a given polygon may be transformed into one another by a signable sequence of diagonal flips. Finally, we show that this conjecture, if true, would imply the four color theorem.
