Enumeration of eulerian and unicursal planar maps

Dedicated to the memory of Professor William T.Tutte Sum-free enumerative formulae are derived for several classes of rooted planar maps with no vertices of odd valency (eulerian maps) and with two vertices of odd valency (unicursal maps). As corollaries we obtain simple formulae for the numbers of unrooted eulerian and unicursal planar maps. Also, we obtain a sum-free formula for the number of rooted bi-eulerian (eulerian and bipartite) maps and some related results
