1994, Springer Verlag. All rights reserved. Ear decomposition of a graph has been extensively studied in relation to graph connectivity. In this paper, a connection of ear decomposition to graph embeddings is exhibited. It is shown that constructing a maximumpaired ear decomposition of a graph and constructing a maximum-genus embedding of the graph are O (e log n)-time equivalent. This gives a polynomial time algorithm for constructing a maximum-paired ear decomposition.
