Abstract:
      In this paper, we discuss the crossing numbers of two one-vertex maps on orientable surfaces. By using a reductive method, we give the crossing number of two one-vertex maps with one face on an orientable surface and the crossing number of a one-vertex map with one face and a one-vertex map with two faces on an orientable surface. This provides a lower bound for the crossing number of two general maps on an orientable surface.
