Is abstract dual always geometric dual on specific condition?

416 Views Asked by At

Geometric dual is abstract dual for plane graphs. G has abstract dual iff G is planar. So abstract dual can be geometric dual or some other bijection.

But I guessed if G is planar and connected maybe abstract dual is always geometric dual. This might be true or false, but I have another question that if there is a condition that makes this proposition true. (eg. connectedness, 2-connectedness, etc...) Can you explain if there is?
