Comments

"A closed bounded region in the plane divided into triangular regions with k+3 vertices on the boundary and n internal vertices is said to be a triangular map of type [n,k]." It is a [n,k]-triangulation if there are no multiple edges.

"... may be evaluated from the results given by Brown."
