We prove tight upper and lower bounds on the number of loops in the Reeb graph that depend on the genus, the number of boundary components, and whether or not the 2-manifold is orientable. We also give an algorithm that constructs the Reeb graph in time O(n log n), where n is the number of edges in the triangulation used to represent the 2-manifold and the Morse function."}],"issue":"2","doi":"10.1007/s00454-004-1122-6","year":"2004","author":[{"full_name":"Cole-McLaughlin, Kree","first_name":"Kree","last_name":"Cole Mclaughlin"},{"first_name":"Herbert","id":"3FB178DA-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","last_name":"Edelsbrunner","full_name":"Herbert Edelsbrunner","orcid":"0000-0002-9823-6833"},{"last_name":"Harer","first_name":"John","full_name":"Harer, John"},{"first_name":"Vijay","last_name":"Natarajan","full_name":"Natarajan, Vijay"},{"full_name":"Pascucci, Valerio","last_name":"Pascucci","first_name":"Valerio"}],"acknowledgement":"Partially supported by NSF under Grants EIA-99-72879 and CCR-00-86013.","page":"231 - 244","day":"01","extern":1,"publication":"Discrete & Computational Geometry","_id":"3985","publication_status":"published","volume":32,"title":"Loops in Reeb graphs of 2-manifolds","quality_controlled":0,"citation":{"ista":"Cole Mclaughlin K, Edelsbrunner H, Harer J, Natarajan V, Pascucci V. 2004.
