Settling the nonorientable genus of the nearly complete bipartite graphs

Abstract

A graph is said to be nearly complete bipartite if it can be obtained by deleting a set of independent edges from a complete bipartite graph. The nonorientable genus of such graphs is known except in a few cases where the sizes of the partite classes differ by at most one, and a maximum matching is deleted. We resolve these missing cases using three classic tools for constructing genus embeddings of the complete bipartite graphs: current graphs, diamond sums, and the direct rotation systems of Ringel.
